Thematic Mapping 3
Objectives of map design
Geographical variables are so diverse and complex, we must understand their essential nature.
Geographical ordering - locational relationships. Discrete phenomena. Continuous phenomena.

Thematic Mapping 8
Basic statistical concepts and processes It is often necessary to manipulate raw
data prior to mapping. Pre-map data manipulation stage:
Making data to be mapped comparable.
![Page 9: Copyright, 1998-2013 © Qiming Zhou GEOG1150/2015. Cartography Thematic Mapping.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102819/56649caf5503460f94972915/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Thematic Mapping 9
Absolute and derived data
Absolute qualities or quantities: “raw data” maps showing landuse categories, production of goods, elevations above sea level, etc.
Derived values. Summarisation or relationship between features. Four classes of relationships: averages, ratios,
densities and potentials.

Averages
Measures of central tendency Three commonly used averages in
cartography: Arithmetic mean Median Mode

Thematic Mapping 12
Median and mode
Median - the attribute value in the middle of all ordered attribute values Geographic median - the attribute value
below which and above which half the total area occurs
Mode - the value that occurs most frequently in a distribution Area modal class - the class which
occupies the greatest proportion of an area
