geography - How to find what you want in curated data?


The following gives a list of all counties in the state of Maryland.


counties = EntityClass["AdministrativeDivision", "USCountiesMaryland"]
   ["Name"];
Flatten[StringDrop[StringCases[#, __ ~~ ","], -1] & /@ counties]

  (* {Allegany County, Maryland,Anne Arundel County, Maryland,

    Baltimore (independent city), Maryland,Baltimore County,
    Maryland,Calvert County, Maryland,Caroline County, Maryland,
    Carroll County, Maryland,Cecil County, Maryland,Charles County,
    Maryland,Dorchester County, Maryland,Frederick County, Maryland,Garrett
    County, Maryland,Harford County, Maryland,Howard County, Maryland,
    Kent County, Maryland,Montgomery County, Maryland,Prince George's
    County, Maryland,Queen Anne's County, Maryland,Somerset County,
    Maryland,St. Mary's County, Maryland,Talbot County, Maryland,
    Washington County, Maryland,Wicomico County, Maryland,Worcester 
    County, Maryland} *)


The first line is based on code another person wrote. I have seen use of "AdministrativeDivision" and "Name" before. How would I determine that "USCountiesMaryland" is needed? Also, how does one know when EntityClass needs more than one argument?

This is all in the docs, but maybe it's good to lay out here.


If you need classes, use EntityClassList:


EntityClassList["AdministrativeDivision"] // CanonicalName // 
 Take[#, 5] &

{"ADM1", "ADM2", "ADM3", "AllUSStatesAndTerritories", \

"AllUSStatesPlusDC"}

If you need properties, use EntityProperties:


EntityProperties["AdministrativeDivision"] // CanonicalName // 
 Take[#, 5] &

{"AccommodationAndFoodServicesSales", "AggravatedAssault", \
"AggravatedAssaultRate", "AggregateHouseholdIncome", "AnnualBirths"}

If you want straight-up entities, use EntityList:



EntityList["Aircraft"] // CanonicalName // Take[#, 5] &

{"RB1", "CAP1", "TSR2", "3ISkyArrow", "3SigmaNearchos"}

Note that EntityList can be applied to a class, too and EntityProperties can be applied to individual entities.


If you want the type name, use EntityTypeName, see also CanonicalName and CommonName


I don't actually know how to get a list of every EntityPropertyClass for an entity type without direct access to the EntityStore


If you want an Association or Dataset of your data, you can specify that to EntityValue. This works even for custom entities provided via EntityStore:


EntityValue[Entity["AirlineSafety", "Aer Lingus"], "Association"]


<|EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "Label"] -> "Aer Lingus", 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "Airline"] -> "Aer Lingus", 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "AvailableSeatKilometersPerWeek"] -> 
  320906734, EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "Incidents85to99"] -> 2, 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "FatalAccidents85to99"] -> 0, 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "Fatalities85to99"] -> 0, 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "Incidents00to14"] -> 0, 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "FatalAccidents00to14"] -> 0, 
 EntityProperty["AirlineSafety", "Fatalities00to14"] -> 0|>


Note that this also can be used on types or classes, e.g,


EntityClass["Airline", "Departures" -> GreaterThan[1000000]][
  "Association"] // Map[Take[#, 3] &]

<|Entity["Airline", 
   "SouthwestAirlinesCo::tcv64"] -> <|EntityProperty["Airline", 
     "AircraftFuel"] -> Quantity[1.53*10^9, "Gallons"], 
   EntityProperty["Airline", "AirlineID"] -> "19393", 
   EntityProperty["Airline", "Airtime"] -> 
    Quantity[36319489/20, "Hours"]|>|>

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
