Histograms

Data exploration after a basic understanding can also be done with the aid of visualizations. Plotting a histogram is one of the most common ways of data exploration through visualization. A histogram type is used to tabulate data over a real plane separated into regular intervals.

A histogram is created using the fit method:

julia> fit(Histogram, data[, weight][, edges])  

fit takes the following arguments:

  • data: Data is passed to the fit function in the form of a vector, which can either be one-dimensional or n-dimensional (tuple of vectors of equal length).
  • weight: This is the optional argument. A WeightVec type can be passed as an argument if values have different weights. The default weight of values is 1.
  • edges: This is a vector used ...
