Function vector_bin_size_scott (o2scl)¶
-
template<class vec_t>
double o2scl::vector_bin_size_scott(size_t n, const vec_t &v)¶ Optimal bin size using Scott’s method for the first
n
elements.
-
template<class vec_t>
double o2scl::vector_bin_size_scott(const vec_t &v)¶ Optimal bin size using Scott’s method.
This function computes the optimal bin size \( \Delta_b \) of a histogram using the expression
\[ \Delta_b = \frac{3.5 \sigma}{n^{1/3}} \]From [Scott79].
Note
If
n
is less than or equal to 1, this function returns 0.0 without calling the error handler.
