Equal Interval Map

Equal Interval: Attribute values are divided into n classes with each interval having the same range.

Natural Breaks Map

Natural Breaks: Widely used in GIS. Breaks are typically uneven and selected to separate values where large changes in value occur. Also called Jenks.

Defined Interval Map

Defined Interval: Variant of manual and equal interval in which the user defines each of the intervals required.

Quantile Map

Quantile: Intervals are selected so that the number of observations in each interval is the same.
