Histograms for fields

 

fldhisto Compute a histogram for a field
-f <field> source field
-max <pins> number of the pins
-dout <trgdata> target data for a histogram
[-cum] cumulative histogram
[-bounds] save bounds of each pin into fields

This operation computes a histogram for a field. The range of the field is divided into the specified number (<pins>) of uniform pins. Then the amount of hits is computed. The result will be a frame with two fields: x containing the centroids of the pins and N including the number of hits in pins. If -bounds is specified, two additional fields are inserted into the frame: low and up, which contain the lower and upper limits for each pin.

Example (ex4.8): This simple example shows, how a histogram can be computed for fuzzy coding. See also command hst (section 7.4.7) and the graphics part of this guide.
