Hi,   I have a relatively big dataset and I want to construct some histograms using the histogram function in lattice. One thing I am interested in is to look at differences between density and percent. I know I can use the hist function but it seems that this function gives sometimes some

I'm not entirely sure that I understand what your problem is. A reproducible example would probably have helped. However I conjecture that the problem boils down to confusing probability with probability *density*. Percentages are the (estimated) bin probabilities times 100. The percentage for
