Classification technique | Description |
|---|---|
Equal Range | Divides the distribution of values (max - min) into equal ranges. |
Equal Count | Creates intervals so that class each has an equal proportion of the sample. |
Natural (Jenks) Breaks | Classes are defined according to apparently natural groupings of data values. |
Standard Deviation | It shows the distance of an observation from the mean. It calculates the mean value and generates class breaks in standard deviation measures above and below it. |
