Re: [R] density of hist(freq = FALSE) inversely affected by data magnitude

Bill, Thank you. I got it. That can require a fair amount of work to interpret the density, especially with odd or irregular bin sizes. Thanks again, James On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 5:33 PM, William Dunlap wrote: > The probability density function is not unitless - it is the derivative of th

[R] density of hist(freq = FALSE) inversely affected by data magnitude

Hi, I have a couple of observations, a question or two, and perhaps a suggestion related to the plotting of density on the y-axis within the hist() function when freq=FALSE. I was using the function and trying to develop an intuitive understanding of what the density is telling me. After reading
