@avibryant @patrickc @b0rk @posco I'm starting to suspect all these statistical tools were named by someone with an affinity for porky pig
@avibryant @patrickc @posco I still don't understand these plots. why are they good?
@b0rk so, many distributions we encounter are log normal. IIRC a cumulative log-log plot of a log-normal distribution is a straight line.
@b0rk ... and plots that are straight lines are easy to read.
@avibryant @b0rk And yes, loglog plots can show how important the tail is in a way linear can't.
@posco @avibryant that makes sense! the score distributions I've been looking at have a (huge) spike at 0 and a (small) spike at 1
