GIS Research & Applications | GIS Database Development | Spatial Data Analysis | Geovisualization Tools Development | Communication of Georeferenced Statistics Geovisualization Tools DevelopmentAs part of a broader program of data visualization research, NCI staff and their collaborators have developed a number of methods to better communicate cancer statistics visually, such as by maps and new graph designs. Examples of work in this area are:
Weighted Nonparametric Smoothing (Headbanging)"Head-banging" is a weighted two-dimensional median-based smoothing algorithm, developed to reveal underlying geographic patterns in data where the values to be smoothed do not have equal variances. The Head-Bang software helps users apply this algorithm to data.
