Re: Compute histograms using the new bin option

Show all headers | View raw

Ethan,

thank you very much for your help: I now understand how to set the 
binrange to get proper results.

I only used R to check my own calculations because I don't trust my 
mathematical capabilities very much. It was not my intention to create 
the impression that I want gnuplot to work in the same way like R does. 
Gnuplot does it the gnuplot way, R does it the R way. I am perfectly 
happy with this especially because I now know how to use gnuplot to 
compute histograms.

If you like please use this link to download a zip file with a new 
script that uses you corrections and a corresponding plot.

This new plot shows a perfect match between the (new) gnuplot results 
and my EXCEL calculations. But the plot also shows different results 
obtained with R for bins 45 and 46. I will post another mail to the R 
forum asking about this (now I can use the gnuplot result to back me up).

Again thanks for you help,
Thomas
