A dot distribution map (or a dot density map or simply a dot map) is a type of thematic map that uses a point symbol to visualize the geographic distribution of a large number of related phenomena. Dot maps are a type of unit visualizations that rely on a visual scatter to show spatial patterns, especially variances in density.
A thematic map usually focuses on visualizing the distribution of values of a single property or type of feature (a univariate map), occasionally including two or more (multivariate) properties or feature types that are hypothesized to be statistically correlated or otherwise closely related.
Distributions, also known as Schwartz distributionsor generalized functions, are objects that generalize the classical notion of functions in mathematical analysis. Distributions make it possible to differentiatefunctions whose derivatives do not exist in the classical sense.
Species distribution. A species range map represents the region where individuals of a species can be found. This is a range map of Juniperus communis, the common juniper. Species distribution, or species dispersion, [1] is the manner in which a biological taxon is spatially arranged. [2]
In probability theory, the continuous mapping theorem states that continuous functions preserve limits even if their arguments are sequences of random variables. A continuous function, in Heine's definition, is such a function that maps convergent sequences into convergent sequences: if xn → x then g ( xn) → g ( x ).
Cartogram. Mosaic cartogram showing the distribution of the global population. Each of the 15,266 pixels represents the home country of 500,000 people – cartogram by Max Roser for Our World in Data. A cartogram (also called a value-area map or an anamorphic map, the latter common among German-speakers) is a thematic map of a set of features ...
The most common example, dating back to Minard, is a map showing shipping between a set of node regions or port cities, along common sea lanes. In a distribution map, paths leave the origin with a width proportional to the total of several destinations, then divide as routes "distribute" toward each destination.
A dasymetric map (from Greek δασύς dasýs 'dense' and μέτρο métro 'measure') is a type of thematic map that uses areal symbols to visualize a geographic field by refining a choropleth map with ancillary information about the distribution of the variable.
In machine learning, the kernel embedding of distributions (also called the kernel mean or mean map) comprises a class of nonparametric methods in which a probability distribution is represented as an element of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS).
This distribution for a = 0, b = 1 and c = 0.5—the mode (i.e., the peak) is exactly in the middle of the interval—corresponds to the distribution of the mean of two standard uniform variables, that is, the distribution of X = (X 1 + X 2) / 2, where X 1, X 2 are two independent random variables with standard uniform distribution in [0, 1].
