Programmer Guide/Command Reference/EVAL/hist

Calculate the absolute frequency of the values of vector x in arbitrary classes. Depending on the number of extents, the result of the function is a vector or a scalar.

Usage

hist(x, us, os, n)

hist(x, uv, ov)

hist(x, rv)

hist(x, rm)

x

a vector or a matrix

us, os, n

Every pair {us+d*i, us+d*(i+1)} (with: d=(os-us)/n, i=0..n-1) defines a class. All three arguments are scalars.

uv, ov

Every pair {uv[i], ov[i]} (with: i=0..nrow(uv)-1) defines a class. Both arguments must be vectors with same length.

rv

Every pair {rv[i], rv[i+1]} (with: i=0..nrow(rv)-2) defines a class. The argument must be vector.

rm

Every pair {rm[i,0], rm[i,1]} (with: i=0..nrow(rm)-1) defines a class. The argument must be matrix with 2 columns.

Result

The result r is a scalar or a vector. Each element r_i is the number of elements of x belonging to class i. An element x_j,k belongs to a class i if xmini ≤ xj,k < xmaxi.
