This study introduces novel interactive graphics called geowigs for exploring spatial data. These geowigs reveal geographic and statistical variations at multiple scales, enhancing spatial analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Geographic Information Science
  • Statistical Graphics
  • Spatial Analysis

Background:

  • Traditional methods struggle to visually synthesize multivariate geographic data at multiple scales.
  • Exploring spatial relationships and local variations requires advanced visualization techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel series of geographically weighted (GW) interactive graphics, or geowigs.
  • To demonstrate how geowigs can reveal spatial relationships and multivariate local variation at multiple scales.
  • To support visual analysis of geographic data using GW statistics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of new graphic types: gw-choropleth maps, multivariate gw-boxplots, gw-shading, and scalograms.
  • Implementation in prototype software with dynamic links and GW interactions.

  • Application to Guerry's 'moral statistics' dataset for informal evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Geowigs effectively reveal information about GW statistics at several scales concurrently.
    • Novel insights into Guerry's dataset, challenging previous correlations and identifying local anomalies.
    • Demonstration of multivariate geographic relationships through interactive GW techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Geowigs offer informative representations of multivariate local variation for area and point-based geographic data.
    • The proposed methods support visual analysis of GW statistics, enabling exploration of geographic effects at multiple scales.
    • Interactive geowigs facilitate the discovery of new spatial patterns and relationships.
