histogramr

This is an R package for estimating irregular histograms. The intention is to:

1. Implement some methods for selecting bin placement,
2. Make the interface mimic stats::hist as closely as possible.

Currently the package estimates the optimal bin placements of irregular histograms (given the number of break points) using either maximum likelihood or L₂ minimization.

Note: This package is under development. The API and core features are likely to change.

Installation

Install the development from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("JonasMoss/histogramr")

Example Usage

Only data on the unit interval [0, 1] is supported.

library("histogramr")
histogramr(USArrests$Rape/100, breaks = 7)
rug(USArrests$Rape/100)
