In our statistical analysis of seismic amplitudes we use squaring to better separate small values from larger values. Example: 2 squared is 4. 4 squared is 16. 16 is separated much farther away from 4 than 4 is from 2 so isolating 4 from 2 is easier if you square them first. Put another way, large numbers are magnified much more than smaller numbers if you square them. I have no idea what this means to a graph of the S&P though.
