Cartography Class Module 4 Blog Post

    For this lab we learned about different classifications, specifically Equal Interval, Standard Deviation, Quantile, and Natural Breaks. I would say equal interval shows the data the best because of the fact that it creates classes that have an equal range in data so that when you look at the data you know that it is not skewed in one way or another. For example your breaks in classifications would be something like 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 rather than something like 1-2, 3-4, 5-9. In equal intervals you know you are getting the best representation of all the data rather than just a small portion.
