A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...
A log-log chart spanning more than one order of magnitude along both axes: Semi-log or log-log (non-linear) charts x position; y position; symbol/glyph; color; connections; Represents data as lines or series of points spanning large ranges on one or both axes; One or both axes are represented using a non-linear logarithmic scale; Streamgraph
Microsoft Excel uses number of days (with decimals, floating point) since January 1, 1900. All these systems present time for the user using traditional units. None of these systems is strictly linear, as they each have discontinuities at leap seconds.
Line chart showing the population of the town of Pushkin, Saint Petersburg from 1800 to 2010, measured at various intervals. A line chart or line graph, also known as curve chart, [1] is a type of chart that displays information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. [2]
A simple run chart showing data collected over time. The median of the observed data (73) is also shown on the chart. A run chart, also known as a run-sequence plot is a graph that displays observed data in a time sequence. Often, the data displayed represent some aspect of the output or performance of a manufacturing or other business process.
While regression analysis is often employed in such a way as to test relationships between one or more different time series, this type of analysis is not usually called "time series analysis", which refers in particular to relationships between different points in time within a single series. Time series data have a natural temporal ordering.
Comparison of linear, concave, and convex functions when plotted using a linear scale (left) or a log scale (right). In science and engineering , a log–log graph or log–log plot is a two-dimensional graph of numerical data that uses logarithmic scales on both the horizontal and vertical axes.
The graph on the left uses a linear scale, showing clearly an exponential trend. The graph on the right, however uses a logarithmic scale, which generates a straight line. If the graph viewer were not aware of this, the graph would appear to show a linear trend.
