The State Cancer Profiles Web Site and Extensions of Linked Micromap Plots and Conditioned Choropleth Map Plots

Interactive Linked Micromap Plots And Dynamically Conditioned Choropleth Maps

This paper introduces interactive extensions to two recently developed templates for displaying geospatially-indexed estimates. The first template, linked micromap plots, links small generalized maps with statistical panels that describe regions. Research centered at the National Cancer Institute addressed the task of communicating state and county cancer statistics and tailored this template t...

Interactive Visualization of Multivariate Statistical Data

This paper introduces web-based interactive Linked Micromap (LM) plots, a set of dynamic visualization methods that allows readers to interactively select variables and modify the different views to help reveal relationships among the study units. This methodology provided the foundation for web-based micromaps used by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This illustrates the power of visualiza...

Geographic statistics visualization: web-based linked micromap plots

Display at least three parallel sequences of panels (micromap, label, and statistical summary) that are linked by position • Sort the study units • Partition 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 t...

Funnel plots and choropleth maps in cancer risk communication: a comparison of tools for disseminating population-based incidence data to stakeholders

BACKGROUND Population-based cancer registries provide epidemiological cancer information, but the indicators are often too complex to be interpreted by local authorities and communities, due to numeracy and literacy limitations. The aim of this paper is to compare the commonly used visual formats to funnel plots to enable local public health authorities and communities to access valid and under...
