bin1 {ash}

univariate binning

Description

Function to compute array of bin counts for a data vector

Usage

bin1(x, ab, nbin=50)

Arguments

x

(input) data vector

ab

(input vector of length 2): half-open interval for bins [a,b). If no value is specified, the range of x is stretched by 5% at each end and used the interval.

nbin

(input integer): number of bins desired. Default 50.

Value

ab <- c(-5,5)           # bin interval
bins <- bin1(x,ab,10)     # bin x into 10 bins over ab
