Which normal density curve best approximates the sample histogram? The answer suggested here is the normal curve that minimizes the integrated squared deviation between the histogram and the normal ...

This displays the parametric density estimation dialog in Figure 12.14. You can select one of four distribution families, and you can use sample parameter estimates or you can specify your own. Figure ...

When a histogram is described as "skewed to the left," it means that the distribution has a longer tail extending towards the ...

The shape of a histogram can tell us some key points about the distribution of the data used to create it. It can tell us the relationship between the mean and the median, and also allow us to ...

We consider the problem of efficiently estimating multivariate densities and their modes for moderate dimensions and an abundance of data. We propose polynomial histograms to solve this estimation ...
