A post about data science and scientific programming featuring a set of graphs with no y-axis scale and labels. At my gaff this kind of presentation of data leads to "scrap the whole analysis and start again".



dude, have you ever used Google Trends? It is a cut and paste from the source. The y axis is the popularity as the title says. It is so obvious even Google has omitted it.


should have labelled it "Magic Google Unitless Dimension"


You can put all of the terms on the same graph; that would allow people to compare these on a like for like basis as opposed to "look at the shapes, here is an argument".
