A histogram is a visual representation of the distribution of quantitative data. To construct a histogram, the first step is to "bin" (or "bucket") the range of values— divide the entire range of values into a series of intervals—and then count how many values fall into each interval.
For a set of empirical measurements sampled from some probability distribution, the Freedman–Diaconis rule is designed approximately minimize the integral of the squared difference between the histogram (i.e., relative frequency density) and the density of the theoretical probability distribution.
The left histogram appears to indicate that the upper half has a higher density than the lower half, whereas the reverse is the case for the right-hand histogram, confirming that histograms are highly sensitive to the placement of the anchor point.

Hoyt distribution, the pdf of the vector length of a bivariate normally distributed vector (correlated and centered) Complex normal distribution , an application of bivariate normal distribution Copula , for the definition of the Gaussian or normal copula model.
Histogram of 10,000 samples from a Gamma(2,2) distribution. Number of bins suggested by Scott's rule is 61, Doane's rule 21, and Sturges's rule 15. Sturges's rule is not based on any sort of optimisation procedure, like the Freedman–Diaconis rule or Scott's rule. It is simply posited based on the approximation of a normal curve by a binomial ...
If X has a standard uniform distribution, then by the inverse transform sampling method, Y = − λ −1 ln(X) has an exponential distribution with (rate) parameter λ. If X has a standard uniform distribution, then Y = X n has a beta distribution with parameters (1/n,1). As such, The Irwin–Hall distribution is the sum of n i.i.d. U(0,1 ...
The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include: mounded (or unimodal), U-shaped, J-shaped, reverse-J shaped and multi-modal. [1] A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one. The shape of a distribution is ...
