Geographic Statistics Visualization: Web-Based Linked Micromap Plots

Linked Micromap (LM) plots offer a new template for displaying spatially indexed statistical summaries. This template has four key features: it can Display at least three parallel sequences of panels (micromap, label, and statistical summary) that are linked by positionSort the study unitsPartition the study units into panels to focus attention on a few units at a time Link the highlighted study units across corresponding panels of the sequences You can use LM plots to visualize complex data in many areas.1-3 This column extends the existing work by introducing Web-based interactive LM plots, a statistical data visualization system that integrates geographical data manipulation, visualization, interactive statistical graphics, and Web-based Java technologies. The system effectively presents the complex and large-volume sample data of national cancer statistics of the United States.
