Dear All, According to the Sturges rule, the number of classes of a histogram is the closest integer to
1 + logb(n,base=2) where n is the number of observations. The function hist(), by default, uses the Sturges rule. However, the code x <- 1:200 hist(x) produces a histogram with 10 classes and not 9 classes as determined by the Sturges rule. What am I missing? Thanks in advance, Paul ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
