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