Content :hist1d SYNOPSIS Compute a 1-d histogram USAGE h = hist1d ([h,] pnts, grid [, &rev]) DESCRIPTION The `hist1d' function bins a set of points `pnts' into a 1-d histogram using bin-edges given by the grid argument. The optional last argument `&rev' is a reference to a variable whose value will be assigned the reverse-indices of the histogram. The first argument `h' is optional. If present and non-NULL, it will be used as the histogram buffer with new binned values added to it. That is, the following statements are equivalent: h = h + hist1d (pnts, grid); h = hist1d (h, pnts, grid); The value of the ith bin in the histogram is given by the number of values in the `pnts' array that satisfy `grid[i]<=X<grid[i+1]' where `X' represents the value of the candidate point. The last bin of the histogram represents an overflow bin with the right bin edge at plus infinity. The grid is required to be sorted into ascending order. The reverse-indices array is an array-of-arrays of indices such that `rev[i]' is an array of indices into the `pnts' array that have fallen into the ith bin.

The optional last argument `&rev' is a reference to a variable whose value will be assigned the reverse-indices of the histogram. The first argument is also optional and, if present and non-NULL, will be used for the histogram values. The value of the bin `[i,j]' of the histogram is given by the number of (X,Y) pairs that satisfy `xgrid[i]<=X<xgrid[i+1]' and `ygrid[j]<=Y<ygrid[j+1]'. The bins at the extreme edges of the histogram represent overflow bins with the upper bin edge at plus infinity. The grids are required to be sorted into ascending order. The reverse-indices array is a 2-d array-of-arrays of indices such that `rev[i,j]' is an array of indices into the `xpnts' and `ypnts' arrays that have fallen into the bin `[i,j]'.

The rebinning operation preserves the normalization of the histogram where the grids overlap. Unlike the `hist1d' function which returns an integer array, the `hist1d_rebin' function returns an array of doubles since the new grid does not have to be commensurate with the old grid. SEE ALSO hist1d, hist2d_rebin, hist2d, hist_bsearch -------------------------------------------------------------- hist2d_rebin SYNOPSIS Rebin a 2-d histogram USAGE new_h = hist2d_rebin (new_xgrid, new_ygrid, old_xgrid, old_ygrid, old_h) DESCRIPTION The `hist2d_rebin' function rebins a 2-d histogram `old_h' with bin edges defined by `old_xgrid' and `old_ygrid' into a 2-d histogram with bin edges given by `new_xgrid' and `new_ygrid'. Unlike the `hist2d' function which returns an integer array, the `hist2d_rebin' function returns an array of doubles since the new grids do not have to be commensurate with the old grids. SEE ALSO hist1d_rebin, hist2d, whist2d, hist_bsearch -------------------------------------------------------------- hist_bsearch SYNOPSIS Perform a binary search USAGE i = hist_bsearch (x, xbins) DESCRIPTION The `hist_bsearch' function performs a binary search for the bin `i' satisfying `xbins[i]<=x<xbins[i+1]'. If the value `x' is greater than or equal to the value of the last bin, the index of the last bin will be returned. If `x' is smaller than the value of the first bin (`xbins[0]'), then the function will return the index of the first bin, i.e., `0'. The grid is required to be sorted into ascending order. If the value of `x' is an array, an array of indices will be returned. NOTES As pointed out above, if the value of `x' is less than the value of the first bin, the index of the first bin will be returned even though `x' does not belong to the bin. If this behavior is not desired, then such points should be filtered out before the binary search is performed.

The value of the ith bin in the histogram is given by a function applied to values of the `wghts' that correspond to those values in the `pnts' array that satisfy `grid[i]<=X<grid[i+1]' where `X' represents the value of the candidate point. The last bin of the histogram represents an overflow bin with the right bin edge at plus infinity. The grid is required to be sorted into ascending order. If the optional fourth argument `&rev' is present, upon return it will be set to the array of reverse-indices of the histogram. The optional `&weight_func' argument may be used to specify the function to be applied to the weights array. By default, the `sum' function will be used. NOTES The source code to this function may be found in `histogram.sl'. As such, it is available only after this file has been loaded. Simply importing the module will not load this function into the interpreter.
