A box plot, sometimes called a box and whisker plot, provides a very concise summary of a data set. It shows the range; the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles; and the mean of the set. Very quickly judgements can be made about the skewness and distribution of a set of data. This is a box plot of a data set recording weight.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-80025688726045290112011-07-17T17:42:00.000-07:002011-07-17T17:42:08.333-07:0048.

Population profiles, or population pyramids, depict a nations population in terms of age and gender. It can be thought of as two histograms put back to back and with it one can see how old or young a nations population is. This is the population pyramid for Spain in 2003. The largest age range was in their thirties. It can also be noted that the population is fairly even between men and women, except in the 80+ range women out live the men.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-84310027820115425492011-07-15T20:32:00.000-07:002011-07-15T20:32:38.119-07:0042.

The Lorenz curve, or an accumulative line graph, is an economic graph designed to show the unequal distribution of income in a given area. The equal distribution is graphed as a straight line, and the actual distribution is plotted over it. The degree to which the actual distribution line "sags" below the equal distribution is determiner of inequity. The graph above compares the inequity of China and Brazil's income in 2004. From these curves one could conclude that China had a more equally distributed income than Brazil did in 2004.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-27519947453257831462011-07-15T19:56:00.000-07:002011-07-15T19:56:55.518-07:0039.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Nominal choropleth maps used color to signify areas with similar characteristics or that belong in the same category. They do not signify numerical data or to what degree an area has a specific characteristic. For example, the map above labels countries as U.S. allies, Soviet allies, other communist countries, or none of the above. There is no gradation. </div>Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-74024632772080959302011-07-15T19:26:00.000-07:002011-07-15T19:27:07.860-07:0037.

A standardized choropleth map uses areally averaged data, such as population per square mile. The map above shows the number of property crimes per square mile in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1995 and could be used to track crime. Caution should be taken however in reading these maps because the size of each unit affects the perceived crime rate. A small unit with a few crimes may be a darker shade than a large unit that actually has more crime.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-7688423371779779562011-07-15T14:59:00.000-07:002011-07-15T14:59:05.113-07:0035.

Univariate choropleth maps use color to show only one set of data. This map uses three classes to show a happiness index for the U.S..

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Bivariate choropleth maps use color and sometime lines or patterns to show two sets of data simultaneously on the same map. This map uses two color scales, each with three classes to show the percentage of the population that is under 18 and the percentage of rural population in each district. Maps like this can be used to discover correlation between two phenomena. </div>Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-80865136051449687702011-07-15T14:39:00.000-07:002011-07-15T14:39:30.570-07:0033.

Unclassed choropleth maps differ from classed choropleth maps only in the sense that there are not a set number of color gradations. The maps above compare classes and unclassed choropleth maps. On the left one can see that there are five classes to identify the percentage of people married by county. On the left there is no scale other than the darker the color the higher the percentage.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-24222241302891370812011-07-15T14:32:00.000-07:002011-07-15T14:32:40.736-07:0032.

Classed choropleth maps use color to indicate the level of a phenomena in a region. The map is broken into areal units and the data within each unit is averaged. This map has six classes to show population density and the unit areas are outlined in black.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-32685689604349708802011-07-15T14:19:00.000-07:002011-07-15T14:19:41.785-07:0031.

A range graded proportional circle map is the same as a continuously variable proportional circle map, except that the circles do not come in all sizes. There are only a set number of circle sizes. In this map, there are five circle sizes and they represent the number of emerging infectious disease events.Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596003093794178691.post-55056107336077316322011-07-15T14:07:00.000-07:002011-07-15T14:07:06.211-07:0030.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Continuously variable proportional circle maps use circle to indicate to what degree phenomena occur in a given area. The circles come in all sizes on a continuous scale. The map above shows rent rates in the northeast U.S. in 1990. The larger the circle, the more expensive rent is. There are not set sizes for the circles and they do not necessarily indicate where exactly the rent rate occurs.</div>Jimmy McKinnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13552355109584001476noreply@blogger.com0
