Abstract:
The stride-cycle frequency of gait data is often estimated by taking the inverse of the average stride-cycle time (stride period) over several stride-cycles. We derive the density function of the stride-cycle frequency frequency (stride frequency) and describe some of its properties. We also show the conditions under which the inverse of the mean stride period is a 'good' estimate of the mean stride frequency. Copyright 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Construction of Frequency Distribution
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is best to...
