Visual Inference

Human perception of exponentially increasing data displayed on a log scale evaluated through experimental graphics tasks

We conducted a series of three graphical studies to evaluate the impact displaying data on the log scale has on human perception of exponentially increasing trends compared to displaying data on the linear scale.
