Visualize: add description of scale in parameter plots #1335

Open Doresic opened 3 months ago

Doresic commented 3 months ago

Feature description Currently, if one plots the optimization parameter estimates using pypesto.visualize.parameters.parameters(...) the obtained plot does not indicate which parameters are plotted in which scale (lin, log10 or log). It would be nice to add that description into the y axis. For instance, for a parameter reaction_1_rate with scale log10, it could be log10 of reaction_1_rate.

Motivation/Application For experienced users, this is a non-issue, as we know the values in the parameter plot are in the scale we specified in the PEtab parameter.tsv file. However, for new users, it's somewhat confusing as there is no indication of scale. Would help with user-friendliness.
