Maps

Output from this procedure also includes interactive maps.

Correlations heat map

For a selected region, the correlations heat map displays the five regions that have the highest spatial correlation with that region.

  1. Double-click the correlations heat map to activate it.

  2. Move the mouse pointer over any region. A tooltip identifies the region. In this example, regions are identified by FIPS (federal information processing standards) codes.
  3. Click a region to select it. The highlighted regions change to show the regions that are most highly correlated with the selected region.

Correlations map

You can select up to five regions in the correlations map. A spatial correlation matrix, a spatial covariance matrix, and a time series plot are displayed for the selected regions.

  1. Double-click the correlations map to activate it.

  2. Click another region to include it in the selection.
  3. Click a selected region to remove it.

  • The time series plot shows the trend in the target values over the nine-month period.
  • In this example, the target is kernel density estimates.
  • In this example, the kernel density estimate values are very small numbers. These values do not represent the actual violent crime rates.
  • The lines indicate the trend in violent crime rates in each of the three selected regions.
