What is the ditribution of the number og observations falling in a bin?
In other words, if we generate a 1000 r.n froma particular
distributions and we constructed a histogram of the the 1000 r.n and
then we count the number of points falling in a bin. What would be the
distribution of the proportion of observations falling within a
particular bin? For those who use S-Plus what's wrong with my function:
function(x, y)
{
count <- matrix(rep(0, length(x) - 1), nrow = length(x) - 1)
p <- matrix(rep(0, length(x) - 1), nrow = length(x) - 1)
for(i in 1:length(x) - 1) {
count[i] <- sum(x[i] < y & y <= x[i + 1])
p[i] <- count[i]/length(y)
}
return(count, p)
}
Thanx,
Mark
