Equal-bin-width histogram versus equal-bin-count histogram
1Institute of Mathematics, The Pomeranian University, Słupsk, Poland.
Abstract:
The histogram has all its bin widths equal to some non-random number arbitrary set by an analyst (EBWH). In the result, particular bin counts are random variables. This paper presents also a histogram that is constructed in a converse manner. Bin counts are all equal to some non-random number arbitrary set by an analyst (EBCH). In the result, particular bin widths are random variables. The first goal of the paper is a choose of constant bin width (of bin numbers k) in the EBWH, which maximize the similarity measure in the Monte Carlo simulation. The second goal is a choose of constant bin count in the EBCH, which maximize the similarity measure in the Monte Carlo simulation. The third goal is to present similarity measures between empirical and theoretical data. The fourth goal is the comparative analysis of two histogram methods by means of the frequency formula. The first additional goal is a tip how to proceed in EBCH when modulo(n,k)≠0. The second additional goal is the software in the form of a Mathcad file with the implementation of EBWH and EBCH.

Histogram
A histogram graph consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. The heights of the bars correspond to frequency values. The graph will have the same shape with respective labels. The...

One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
Binomial Probability Distribution
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...
