similar to: Histograms and Sturges rule

Hi Folks, I'd like to know how hist() decides how many cells to use when it ignores my "suggestion" to use say 'hist(...,breaks=50)'. More specifically, I have the results of 10000 simulations, each returning an 8-vector, therefore 8 variables each with 10000 values. Some of these 8 have somewhat skew distributions. Say one of these 8 variables is X. I ask for H <-

Hi Group, I've a vector of 1000 numeric values for which I want to draw a histogram. I've read this vector into R with no variable name.I mean only the 1000 values, which makes V1 the name of the variable by default?? Then I tried > hist(V1, breaks = "Sturges", +      freq = NULL, probability = !freq, +      include.lowest = TRUE, right = TRUE, +      density = NULL, angle =

Hi folks I'm trying to plot a normalized frequency histogram of some data. After checking the docs, it seems there is no built in feature for this. from the definition for normalized frequency, I need to divide the relative frequency by the size of the intervals being used. So I could divide the series by this interval length, and then plot the relative frequency. The problem is

Hello,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I would like to create a histogram from a data collumn consisting of 4 classes (0; 0.05;0.5;25;75). Due to the difference in scale the classes 0;0.05 and 0.5 are displayed within one combined bin by default with the code:Hist(x, scale="percent",

Dear all, I am a newbie in R and could not find help on this problem. I am trying to plot an histogram with probabilities in the y axis. This is the code I am using: #TLC uniform n=30 mi=1; mx=6 nrep=1000 xbar=rep(0,nrep) for (i in 1:nrep) {xbar[i]=mean(runif(n,min=mi,max=mx))} hist(xbar,prob=TRUE,breaks="Sturges",xlim=c(1,6),main=paste("n =",n), xlab="Média",

Hi, I am facing the problem that I want to plot a histogram chart set freq to true and overlay with normal or weibull or exponential distribution curve. The sample code is shown as below: >samp<-c(-8.2262,-8.2262,-8.2262,-8.20209,-8.09294,-8.07321,-8.07321, -8.07321,-8.07175,-8.04948,-8.04948,-8.04948,-8.03848,-8.03848,

hi all : i have the data below and then below that, i call the hist function three times using the Scott method for the widths of the bins. the bin width is different for the three histograms but I would like it to always be 0.05 regfardless of the data set being histogrammed. I'm sure there must be a manual way to do this which is fine with me. i tried breaks=0.05 but it wasn't happy

Hi, This is a very basic question, but I would like to undestand hist(). I thought that the hist( , freq=FALSE) should provide the relative frequencies (probabilities), and so they should sum 1, however: set.seed(2) ah <- hist(rnorm(100), freq=F) sum(ah$intensities) [1] 2 set.seed(2) bh <- hist(rlnorm(100), freq=F) sum(bh$intensities) [1] 0.4999996 I'm getting similar figures with

Hello! Up to now I have been using hist() to display the distributions. Howevere, I noteiced strange numbers on y (vertical) axis, if I used probability = T or freq = F option. I thought it is a bug and launched the R-bug system and found some posts on that matter. Brian Ripley responded to one, that one should look at truehist() for that. Ok I can use truehist() if I want to see the ratios

i want to plot the histogram and the curve in the same graph.if i have a set of data ,i plot the histogram and also want to see what distribution it was.So i want to plot the curve to know what distribution it like. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-plot-the-histogram-and-the-curve-in--the-same-graph-tp20082506p20082506.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Dear All, I have a massive dataset from which I would like to draw a histogram. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance, Paul

Is there any neat way to add a curve (frequency function or the like) to a histogram or other plots? I haven't found one yet... Robert

Hi, This might be a simple problem but I don't know how to calculate a random variable density the way panel.histogram does it before it creates the actual density rectangles. The documentation says that it uses the density function but the actual code suggests that the hist.constructor function (which does not seem to be easily accessible). Any suggestion for computing the density values of

To whom it may concern, I have a problem concerning the design of a histogram. How do I change the border widths of the bars of a histogram. The initial command is: hist (punkte,breaks=30, xlab="Punkte", ylab="H?ufigkeit", main="Histogramm", col= heat.colors(30), border= "red") I suspect that it has to do with the "lwd" command but can't

Dear all, hist ( ) plots a horizontal line at y=0 when the respective bin is empty. I can deal with this by modifying the hist object before plotting it (x$density[x$density == 0] <- NA), but I'm sure I've seen a more elegant way. Perhaps this was in truehist (MASS). I have looked but can't find it. Does anyone know? Best wishes Paul -- View this message in context:

Dear People, I have a data set of data x from a probability distribution, and I have a function, mydensity, of the pdf of that distribution. I'm asking for help in superimposing the histogram of x and the plot of mydensity. In the function below, I call truehist and curve, but these are plotted in different figures. I'd like them to be plotted on the same figure, and to use common

I am trying to plot a lognormal density curve on top of an existing histogram. Can anybody suggest a simple way to do this? Even if someone could just explain how to plot a regular normal density curve on top of an existing histogram, it would be a big help. Also, is there some way to search through the R-help archives other than simple browsing? Thank you so much. Your help and time is greatly

Hi, I'm plotting a multiple histogram using the function multhist {package plotrix}, something like: library(plotrix) mh <- list(rnorm(200, mean=200, sd=50), rnorm(200, mean=250, sd=50)) multhist(mh) In this graph y-axis represents the frequency of observations.... but I would like it to be scaled into relative frequencies, does anybody know how to do this with multhist or similar

Dear All I would like to draw a picture with the density curve of a normal distribution over a histogram of a set of random numbers extracted from the same normal distribution. Is that possible? Thanks in advance, Paul
