During my studies, I found a fault in the hist()-function:
If you have a vector x with values around zero and also bigger than 10,000,000 ,
there will be a shift of -max(x)/10,000,000 in the hist-datas.
See my example:
x<-runif(10000)
hist(x,breaks=c(seq(-3,3,0.1)),prob=TRUE)
#everything ok, but now produce the problem
x[254]=20000000
hist(x,breaks=c(seq(-3,3,0.1),max(x)),prob=TRUE,xlim=c(-3,3))
#here you can see the shift
hist(x + max(x)/10000000,breaks=c(seq(-3,3,0.1),max(x)),prob=TRUE,xlim=c(-3,3))
#first solution (but I don't know ,why it works)
for(i in 1:10000)
{
if(x[i]>10)x[i]=10
}
hist(x,breaks=c(seq(-3,3,0.1),max(x)),prob=TRUE,xlim=c(-3,3))
#second solution (the better one I think)
Good Luck for the solution of this problem, and it would be nice to send me an
answer.
Thanks and till then, Stephan Schlueter
