I am in agreement with Guy Hoelzer in his assessment of the use of
log-transformed data.
Since I regularly deal with biological growth processes, using
log-transformed data is the clearest way to anaylyze proportional
relationships in nonlinear sysrtems.
By virtue of the way it compresses
Dear Sung et al.,
I appreciate human bias in terms of numerical scale, but I don’t think that is
what we actually achieve by using logarithms. If the universe of possibility
is fractal, using a logarithm does not eliminate the problem of large numbers.
I think the primary outcome achieved by
Sorry Sung, you know about the rules of engagement in this list... you

Anyhow, tomorrow I will make public an embarrassing bureaucratic

Hi Krassimir,

function of the number of choices available, n, may be because the human brain
finds it easier to remember (and communicate and reason with) 10 than
