Re: [R] how to get the distribution curve from a data set?

would a density plot do? try plot(density(x)) if you are specifically after the histogram tops rather than a density estimate, then get the hist object with plot=F, then look at the counts attribute: histobj = hist(x, freq="TRUE", breaks=1000, plot=F) plot(histobj$counts) hope this helps. o

[R] how to get the distribution curve from a data set?

I have a question. I have a data set (about 100,000 observations). How would I get the distribution curve graph? This is like, if I use hist(x, freq="TRUE", breaks=1000) to get the histogram, now the question is, I don't need the histogram itself, I just need the curve that connects the top of
