Hi,

This might be a simple problem but I don't know how to calculate a random
variable density the way panel.histogram does it before it creates the
actual density rectangles. The documentation says that it uses the density
function but the actual code suggests that the hist.constructor function
(which does not seem to be easily accessible).


The documentation in ?histogram is misleading. I think that the intent
is that density() is used in panel.densityplot but panel.histogram uses
hist(), as is clear in ?panel.histogram.

So you'll find the code for the density rectangles in hist.default
where 'counts' is computed and followed with

 dens - counts/(n * diff(breaks))

You might find the code for truehist() in the MASS package easy to
follow.

To see how hist.constructor calls hist():

 lattice:::hist.constructor

Any suggestion for computing the density values of foo$x in the following
example will be welcome.


require(lattice)
set.seed(12345)

foo1-
data.frame(x=rnorm(100,0,0.1),grp=1,by=rep(1:2,each=50),by2=rep(1:2,times=50))
foo2-
data.frame(x=rnorm(100,2,1),grp=2,by=rep(1:2,each=50),by2=rep(1:2,times=50))
foo- rbind(foo1,foo2)

xplot- histogram(~x,data=foo, type='density')


PS: the present question relates to a workaround for another problem
previously submitted to the list (

Thank you very much Peter,

I'm going to dig deeper into the code of the functions you've listed.
