[R] How is the relation between Frequency and Counts in hist/density defined?

2011-05-23 Thread Tal Galili
Hi all, I'm looking to add a density smoother on top of a hist when Freq=T. In order to do this I can use the relation between count and density, but I would like to know if there is a way for me to predict it upfront. Here is an example: set.seed(242) z = rnorm(30) hist_z - hist(z)

Thanks Bery and Richard. So how would you suggest to create a histogram function with an added density plot on top of it? Here is what I've came up so far (ANY suggestion for improvement will be welcomed!): #- # function

try this -- it scales to the maximum value: set.seed(242) z = rnorm(30) hist_z - hist(z) hist_z$counts / hist_z$density # the relation is 15 # why is this 15 ?? # So I can now do: hist(z) # change in this statement - scale to the max y - density(z)$y * max(hist_z$counts) / max(density(z)$y) #is

Check the Help archives, google, search cran, as this has been requested many times. IIRC, Greg Snow's gtools package has a function that does this. -- Bert On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 8:39 AM, Tal Galili tal.gal...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Bery and Richard. So how would you suggest to create a
