Hi Leaf
The word even can be interpreted in several ways but I will give it a
shot.
If you want to specify the breakpoints to represent the aggregation in your
data you can use the argument breaks within histogram i.e.
x=c(runif(95,0,0.2),runif(5,.21,2))
hist(x, breaks=seq(0,2,.1), freq=F )#It will use breakpoints at
0,0.1,0.2,...2
or you can also suggest a pre-defined number of cells i.e.
hist(x, breaks=7, freq=F )
You can also add a density line over the histogram using lines
lines(density(x, bw=.1))
Alternativelly, you can use some more basic visualization like a
stem-and-leaf plot
stem(x)
I hope this helps

Subject: [R] breaks in hist()
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2005 10:48:45 -0700
Dear listers,
A quick question about breaks in hist().
The histogram is highly screwed to the right, say, the range of the vector
is [0, 2], but 95% of the value is squeezed in the interval (0.01, 0.2). My
question is : how to set the breaks then make the histogram look even?
Thanks in advance,
Leaf
