Construction of continuous density functions from spatially distributed categorical data

Construction of continuous density functions from spatially distributed categorical data

The problem of producing meaningful contour maps from spatially distributed categorical data has been investigated. A method has been developed which produces maps of relative and absolute density, without recourse to any regular grid system. Neolithic axe data has been used to test the method, and...

Zusammenfassung:The problem of producing meaningful contour maps from spatially distributed categorical data has been investigated. A method has been developed which produces maps of relative and absolute density, without recourse to any regular grid system. Neolithic axe data has been used to test the method, and a modified density function developed which attempts to portray the underlying structure of the data.
