Authors: Rogerius Josephus Boscovich (1711-1787) & Johanes Tobias Mayer (1723-1762)
Beginnings of the estimation of $m$ unknown quantities from $n$ emipirical equations (where $n > m$), taking account of the possibility of errors in the observations (later supplanted by the method of least squares)

Authors: Johanes Tobias Mayer (1723-1762) & Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728-1777) & Moses Harris (1730-1785)
Diagrams developed to represent color systems. In 1758, Mayer developed a system of constructing and naming many of the possible colours. Lambert extended this with a 3D pyramid indicating "depth'' (saturation).

Author: Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728-1777)
Theory of measurement error as deviations from regular graphed line. (Lambert made the observation that "a diagram does incomparably better service here than a table.''cite[p. 204]{Tilling:1975}

Repeated systematic application of graphical analysis (line graphs applied to empirical measurements)

Authors: Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes (1777–1834)
The first weather map was invented by physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes in 1816, based on data collected over several decades.

Author: Heinrich Berghaus (1797-1884)
Physical atlas of the distribution of plants, animals, climate, etc., one of the most extensive and detailed thematic atlases; most of the maps contained tables, graphs, pictorial profiles of distributions over altitude, and other visual accompanyments

Author: Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley (1887-1915)
Discovery of the concept of atomic number, based largely on graphical analysis (a plot of serial numbers of the elements vs. square root of frequencies from X-ray spectra) The linear relations showed that the periodic table was explained by atomic number rather than, as had been supposed, atomic weight, and predicted the existence of several yet-undiscovered elements
