| The ecological fallacy describes errors due to performing analyses on aggregate data when trying to reach conclusions on the individual units.[citation needed] Errors occur in part from spatial aggregation. For example a pixel represents the average surface temperatures within an area. Ecological fallacy would be to assume that all points within the area have the same temperature. This topic is closely related to the modifiable areal unit problem. |
