class mrpt::math::CHistogram

This class provides an easy way of computing histograms for unidimensional real valued variables.

Call “getHistogram” or “getHistogramNormalized” to retrieve the full list of bin positions & hit counts.

Example:

CHistogram      hist(0,100,10);
hist.add(86);
hist.add(7);
hist.add(45);

std::cout << hist.getBinCount(0) << std::endl;      // Result: "1"
std::cout << hist.getBinRatio(0) << std::endl;      // Result: "0.33"

#include <mrpt/math/CHistogram.h>

class CHistogram
{
public:
    // construction

    CHistogram(const double min, const double max, const size_t nBins);

    //
methods

    CHistogram createWithFixedWidth(double min, double max, double binWidth);
    void clear();
    void add(const double x);

    template <typename MAT_VECTOR_LIKE, typename = typename MAT_VECTOR_LIKE::Scalar>
    void add(const MAT_VECTOR_LIKE& x);

    template <typename T>
    void add(const std::vector<T>& x);

    size_t getBinCount(const size_t index) const;
    double getBinRatio(const size_t index) const;
    void getHistogram(std::vector<double>& x, std::vector<double>& hits) const;
    void getHistogramNormalized(std::vector<double>& x, std::vector<double>& hits) const;
};

Construction

CHistogram(const double min, const double max, const size_t nBins)

Constructor.

Parameters:

std::exception

On nBins<=0 or max<=min

Methods

CHistogram createWithFixedWidth(double min, double max, double binWidth)

Constructor with a fixed bin width.

Parameters:

std::exception

On max<=min or width<=0

void clear()

Clear the histogram:

void add(const double x)

Add an element to the histogram.

If element is out of [min,max] it is ignored.

template <typename MAT_VECTOR_LIKE, typename = typename MAT_VECTOR_LIKE::Scalar>
void add(const MAT_VECTOR_LIKE& x)

Add all the elements from a MRPT container to the histogram.

If an element is out of [min,max] it is ignored.

template <typename T>
void add(const std::vector<T>& x)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

size_t getBinCount(const size_t index) const

Retuns the elements count into the selected bin index, where first one is 0.

Parameters:

std::exception

On invalid index

double getBinRatio(const size_t index) const

Retuns the ratio in [0,1] range for the selected bin index, where first one is 0.

It returns 0 if no elements have been added.

Parameters:

std::exception

On invalid index.

void getHistogram(std::vector<double>& x, std::vector<double>& hits) const

Returns the list of bin centers & hit counts.
