I am looking at histogram breaks, and notice something odd: > foo <- hist(runif(10000),breaks=20) > length(foo$breaks) [1] 21 This makes sense to me.
> foo <- hist(runif(10000),breaks=200) > length(foo$breaks) [1] 201 This also makes sense. BUT > foo <- hist(runif(10000),breaks=250) > length(foo$breaks) [1] 201 > foo <- hist(runif(100000),breaks=250) > length(foo$breaks) [1] 201 Why only 201 breaks? Where did the other 50 go? -- ------------------------------------ Here miracles become marvels, and marvels recurring wonders. -- William Beebe Dr. Glenn Lawyer +352 661 967 244 Instituttgruppe for psykiatri Seksjon Vinderen PB 85 Vinderen 0319 Oslo http://folk.uio.no/davidgl [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
