  2. Dasymetric map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasymetric_map

    The dasymetric map is a hybrid product combining the strengths and weaknesses of choropleth and isarithmic maps. [1]: 271 Dasymetric maps are used instead of choropleth maps because they represent underlying data distributions more accurately. Choropleth maps and dasymetric maps differ in three main ways.

  3. Thematic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thematic_map

    A dasymetric map is an alternative to a choropleth map. As with a choropleth map, data are collected by enumeration units. But instead of mapping the data so that the region appears uniform, ancillary information is used to estimate a more detailed distribution of the phenomenon within each enumeration unit. For example, land cover data (forest ...

    dasymetric map A type of thematic map that uses areal symbols to visualize a spatially dependent variable (e.g. population density) by refining a choropleth map with ancillary information about the distribution of the variable. The dasymetric method attempts to improve the resolution of maps based on average or per-capita figures calculated for ...

  5. Open and closed maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_and_closed_maps

    By definition, the map : is a relatively closed map if and only if the surjection: ⁡ is a strongly closed map. If in the open set definition of "continuous map" (which is the statement: "every preimage of an open set is open"), both instances of the word "open" are replaced with "closed" then the statement of results ("every preimage of a ...

  6. Cartographic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_design

    A Dasymetric map is a hybrid type that uses additional data sources to refine the boundaries of a choropleth map (especially through excluding uninhabited areas), thereby mitigating some of the sources of misinterpretation. A Proportional symbol map visualizes statistical data of point symbols, often circles, using the visual variable of size ...

  7. Choropleth map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choropleth_map

    The earliest known choropleth map was created in 1826 by Baron Pierre Charles Dupin, depicting the availability of basic education in France by department. [4] More "cartes teintées" ("tinted maps") were soon produced in France to visualize other "moral statistics" on education, disease, crime, and living conditions.

  8. Modifiable areal unit problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifiable_areal_unit_problem

    A hand map with different spatial patterns. Note: p is the probability of q -statistic; * denotes statistical significant at level 0.05, ** for 0.001, *** for smaller than 10 −3 ;(D) subscripts 1, 2, 3 of q and p denotes the strata Z1+Z2 with Z3, Z1 with Z2+Z3, and Z1 and Z2 and Z3 individually, respectively; (E) subscripts 1 and 2 of q and p ...

  9. Dot distribution map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_distribution_map

    A dot distribution map (or a dot density map or simply a dot map) is a type of thematic map that uses a point symbol to visualize the geographic distribution of a large number of related phenomena. Dot maps are a type of unit visualizations that rely on a visual scatter to show spatial patterns, especially variances in density.
