Hi,
Short Version:
Is there a function to re-bin a histogram to new, broader bins?
Long version: I'm trying to create a histogram, however my input-data is
itself in the form of a fine-grained histogram, i.e. numbers of counts
in regular one-second bins. I want to produce a histogram of, say,

Hi,

: [R] Re-binning histogram data
Thanks for the reply Petr,
It looks to me that truehist() needs a vector of data just like
hist()? Whereas I have histogram-style input data? Am I missing
something?
Well, maybe you could use barplot. Or as you suggested recreate the
original vector and call
of
world would that be?! :-)

Hi, Bert, Ted, et al.:
Do you use normal probability plots? They are the best tool I know
for identifying all kinds of nonnormality, including normal mixtures
with either outliers or multimodality as well as skewness. I've
experimented with PP and nonnormal QQ plots, and not found
