hist Module Details

biskit.hist.histogram(data, nbins, range=None)[source]

Create a histogram. Comes from Konrad Hinsen: Scientific Python

Parameters:
  • data ([any]) – data list or array
  • nbins (int) – number of bins
  • range ((float, float) OR None) – data range to create histogram from (min val, max val)
Returns:

array (2 x len(data) ) with start of bin and witdh of bin.

Return type:

array

biskit.hist.density(x, nBins, range=None, steps=1, hist=0)[source]
returns the normalized histogram of x::
density( data, nBins [,range=None, steps=1, hist=0|1] ) -> array
Parameters:
  • x ([any]) – data list or array
  • nBins (int) – number of bins
  • range ((float, float) OR None) – data range to create histogram from (min val, max val)
  • steps (1|0) – 1: histogram appears as a discrete graph (default 1)
  • hist (1|0) – 0: normalize histogram (default 0)
Returns:

array (2 x len(data) ) with start of bin and witdh of bin.

Return type:

array
