Visualisation of Uncertainty in a Geodemographic Classifier

Abstract

We explore some ideas around quantifying and visualising classification uncertainty within a geodemographic classifier. We demonstrate spatially-constrained small-multiples to show geographical variation, their combination with a Gastner population cartogram projection to normalise with respect to population, explore a fuzziness parameter when producing fuzzy-sets, and look at implications of taking into account this uncertainty when profiling population, finding that this can have significant effects that are worth investigating further.
