Adrian, Daniel; Reischman, Diann; Anderson, Kirk; Richardson, Mary; Stephenson, Paul
Journal of Statistics Education, v28 n1 p56-74 2020
Maps are a primary method of displaying statistical data that comes from a geographical frame. Maps are esthetically appealing and make it easier to identify geographic patterns in a dataset. However, few introductory statistical texts and courses explicitly present maps as a way to display data. In this article, we will present examples of different types of statistical maps and illustrate how these maps can be used in the instruction of an introductory statistics course.
