Exploring Site statistics

  1. Open the index.html file from one of the output packages included on the USB drive.

  2. Click the “Site Statistic Maps” link, the middle link under the package contents.

  3. On the left side, there is a select box that allows you to choose which map statistic you would like to view. Under the select box you will find a brief description of the statistic.

  4. On the right side, there is a map. The values displayed are a “heat map” showing the relative values for each cell. The cells are stylized such that more transparent values indicate lower relative values and less transparent cells indicate higher relative values.

Exploring statistic scatterplots

  1. Open the index.html file from one of the output packages included on the USB drive.

  2. Click the “Scatterplots” link, the right-most link under the package contents.

  3. You will see two panels. The panel on the left has a scatterplot and the panel on the right is a map.

  4. Use the select boxes under the scatter plot to plot the relationships between the statistics. The value on the left will be the y-axis and the value on the right will be the x-axis.

  5. Click and drag to create a selection around points in the scatter plot.
    The corresponding cells will be highlighted in the map showing where those values occur.

  6. Alternatively, you can create a spatial selection on the map to see where the values fall within the scatter plot by using the box or polygon spatial select tools on the map.
