   Here is a little [tutorial on CDFs and 
PMFs](https://datasketches.apache.org/docs/QuantilesStudies/QuantilesStreamAStudy.html).
   
   It is on the website:
   
   - Click on Documentation
   - On the left ToC open Sketch Families
   - Open Quantiles and Histograms
   - Click on Classic Quantiles Sketches
   - At the top of the page click on Quantiles StreamA Study
   
   The beauty of using these quantile sketches for histogramming big data is:
   - You only scan the raw data once.
   - After that, you can query the sketch with a set of points that define the 
boundaries of your bins.  The result is returned to you as two arrays of 
points.  You choose your own plotting tool. If you don't like what you see, you 
can query the sketch again with a different set of points.  Most histogram 
plotting software requires you to define your bins before you scan the raw 
data.  These sketches allow you to play with your data in nearly real time.
