Selecting Histogram Plot data and display options

You can select the data view, metric, histogram type, and number of bins when viewing a Histogram Plot.

1. Select the view to use for the chart data from the View list at the bottom of the chart.
2. Select the metric for which to plot the value ranges on the X-axis from the Attribute list.
3. Select the type of histogram to display from the Histogram Type list:

   Histogram Type	Description
   Cumulative	The cumulative histogram adds up the number of records through each range of values. So each point in the histogram represents the total number of records with values up to, but not including, that range. For example: The bar for range 1-10 shows the number of records with a value between 1 and 9. The bar for range 10-20 shows the number of records with a value between 1 and 19. The bar for range 20-30 shows the number of records with a value between 1 and 29.
   Relative	The relative histogram shows the relative frequency for each range of attribute values. Relative histograms also include a kernel density line.
   Standard	The standard histogram shows the actual number of records for each range of attribute values. Standard histograms also include a kernel density line.

4. By default, the Auto Binning check box is selected, indicating that Studio automatically determines the number of bins to display. To set the number manually:
   1. Deselect the Auto Binning check box.
   2. In the Number of Bins field, type the number of bins to display on the X-axis. Click outside the field to update the visualization.

      The larger the number of bins, the smaller the range of values in each bin.

      For example, if you have 50 bins for 1000 data points, each bin represents a range of 20 (0-19, 20-39, etc.). If you have 100 bins, each bin represents a range of 10 (0-9, 10-19, etc.).
