Hello, I am rather new to R. in trying to use the hist() command I get behavior that is somewhat puzzling me, in short, for a vector 'data' of about 2000 elements ranging from -1,1 I do: hist(data,probability=TRUE) I get a histogram with the y axis ranging from 0.0 -> 6.0 at the highest bin. This bin's relative frequency should be 0.6. this bin's raw count is 1200 (out of about 2000 observations in the vector 'data'). so this 6 is not the raw count, probability=relative frequency or percentage. What is it? I get the raw counts plotted correctly if I do a hist(data) any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks Murad -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
