Lorenz Curve

A Lorenz curve is a graphical method that portrays the proportionality of distribution of an area. The Lorenz curve is compared to the line of equality. This Lorenz curve displays inequality. The further the Lorenz curve is from the line of equality, the more diversity of the sample.

Histogram

A histogram is a graphical representation of the data grouped into ranges and then displayed in bars. This histogram displays the amount of neighbors each country has of 239 world countries. For example, 27 countries have five neighbors. It is common to have zero neighbors due to islands.

Cartographic Animation

Cartographic animations convey change over time for a specific variable. Cartographic animations combine a series of maps to display the change. For example, the cartographic animation above can be used to display the change of precipitation rate of the Earth.

Isopleth

Isopleth maps are used when representing a continuous variable. The data points are conceptual in that they are collected over an area rather than point locations. This type of map is convenient for displaying gradual change over an area. This map conveys the gradual differences of pH from acid rain in 1998. The east side of the United States may have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions, meaning more acidic, due to the industrial factories.

Bilateral Graph

A bilateral graph is similar to the representation of a bar graph except it conveys two variables. This bilateral graph conveys the imports and exports of the Mexico-Argentina trade. In 2003 the imports were extremely low compared to the imports of 2010. The import rate has a gradual increase while the exports has a subtle decrease from 2003-2010.

Scatterplot

Scatter plots display a comparison of two different variables in which the points on the graph are the comparison of the two data. This plot compares the two variables of percentage of walkers or bike commuters to the percent of commuters who are neither over weight nor obese.

Population Profile

A population profile is a way to evaluate the demographics of a country. Population profiles display the age and population of each gender. The youngest age groups are at the bottom while the top are the oldest of the population. If the base of the graphic is large with a narrow top, it implies that the population is growing. For example, this population profile displays a growing population with a wide base is 2010 for India. That analysis is mirrored in the projection of India in 2050. The projection in 2050 also leads to the assumption that the population stabilizes.
