Abstract
Cartographic maps have many practical uses and can be an attractive alternative for disseminating detailed frequency tables. However, a detailed map may disclose private data of individual units of a population. We will describe some smoothing algorithms to display spatial distribution patterns. In certain situations, the disclosure risk of a spatial distribution pattern, can be formulated in terms of a frequency table disclosure problem. In this paper we will explore the effects of spatial smoothing related to statistical disclosure control.
