Signature

def _hist_bin_sturges ( x , range )

Summary

Sturges histogram bin estimator.

Extended Summary

A very simplistic estimator based on the assumption of normality of the data. This estimator has poor performance for non-normal data, which becomes especially obvious for large data sets. The estimate depends only on size of the data.

Parameters

x : array_like: Input data that is to be histogrammed, trimmed to range. May not be empty.

Returns

h : An estimate of the optimal bin width for the given data.
