HISTOGRAMName:
There are 4 types of histograms:
The histogram and the frequency plot have the same information except the histogram has bars at the frequency values, whereas the frequency plot has lines connecting the frequency values.
where <type> is one of HISTOGRAM, RELATIVE HISTOGRAM, CUMULATIVE HISTOGRAM, or CUMULATIVE RELATIVE HISTOGRAM; <x> is a variable of raw data values; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification is optional. This syntax is used when you have raw data. Note that <x> can be either a variable or a matrix. If <x> is a matrix, then a histogram will be generated for all values in that matrix.
where <type> is one of HISTOGRAM, RELATIVE HISTOGRAM, CUMULATIVE HISTOGRAM, or CUMULATIVE RELATIVE HISTOGRAM; <y> is a variable containing pre-computed frequencies; <x> is a variable containing the bin mid-points; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification is optional. This syntax is used when you have grouped data with equi-sized bins.
where <type> is one of HISTOGRAM, RELATIVE HISTOGRAM, CUMULATIVE HISTOGRAM, or CUMULATIVE RELATIVE HISTOGRAM; <y> is a variable containing pre-computed frequencies; <xlow> is a variable containing the lower limits for the bins; <xhigh> is a variable containing the upper limits for the bins; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification is optional. This syntax is used when you have grouped data with unequal sized bins.
where <type> is one of HISTOGRAM, RELATIVE HISTOGRAM, CUMULATIVE HISTOGRAM, or CUMULATIVE RELATIVE HISTOGRAM; <y> is a variable of raw data values; <x> is a group-id variable; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification is optional. This syntax can be used to highlight the contribution to the histogram for particular subsets of the data. It is demonstrated in the program examples below.

LET YFREQ = YPLOT LET XVAL = XPLOT Then the variables YFREQ and XVAL contain a frequency table. You can also use the
command for this purpose.
A number of alternative choices for class width can be set with the command
Enter HELP HISTOGRAM CLASS WIDTH for details.
To revert to the default, enter
To restore the default, enter
with XLOW containing the values for the lower bin limit and XHIGH containing the values for the upper bin limit.
In this case, X is a group-id variable. This syntax can be used to highlight the contribution to the histogram for particular subsets of the data.
David Scott (1992), "Multivariate Density Estimation", John Wiley, (chapter 3). This book discusses histograms as "density estimators" and gives optimal criterion for selecting the class width.
