  2. Histogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    The total area of a histogram used for probability density is always normalized to 1. If the length of the intervals on the x-axis are all 1, then a histogram is identical to a relative frequency plot. Histograms are sometimes confused with bar charts. In a histogram, each bin is for a different range of values, so altogether the histogram ...

  3. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)

    A histogram is a representation of tabulated frequencies, shown as adjacent rectangles or squares (in some of situations), erected over discrete intervals (bins), with an area proportional to the frequency of the observations in the interval. The height of a rectangle is also equal to the frequency density of the interval, i.e., the frequency ...

  4. Freedman–Diaconis rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedman–Diaconis_rule

    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.

  5. Scott's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott's_Rule

    Scott's rule is a method to select the number of bins in a histogram. [1] Scott's rule is widely employed in data analysis software including R , [ 2 ] Python [ 3 ] and Microsoft Excel where it is the default bin selection method.

  6. Sturges's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturges's_rule

    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 ...

  7. Allele frequency spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele_frequency_spectrum

    The allele frequency spectrum can be written as the vector = (,,,,), where is the number of observed sites with derived allele frequency . In this example, the observed allele frequency spectrum is ( 4 , 2 , 1 , 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle (4,2,1,0,1)} , due to four instances of a single observed derived allele at a particular SNP loci, two ...

  8. Entropy estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_estimation

    The histogram is itself a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate of the discretized frequency distribution [citation needed]), where is the width of the th bin. Histograms can be quick to calculate, and simple, so this approach has some attraction.

  9. Probability distribution fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution...

    The aim of distribution fitting is to predict the probability or to forecast the frequency of occurrence of the magnitude of the phenomenon in a certain interval. There are many probability distributions (see list of probability distributions ) of which some can be fitted more closely to the observed frequency of the data than others, depending ...
