Hi
Say I have a data set (x_i, y_i) such as of the form
{
{4.4077, 8.41282*10^-7},
{9.39964, 3.3636*10^-6},
{14.3781, 7.56237*10^-6},
{19.3462, 0.00001343},
{24.3073, 0.0000209557},
...
}
The first coordinate is time, the second a weight. The sum of the
weights equal 1, so I am dealing with a probability density function.
I want to bin all the data points such that data points with their x-
coordinates within some range delta_x are binned together, and the
total y-coordinate of that bin should be the sum of all the y's of the
data points in the respective bin. So basically something like a
histogram.
How can I do this?
Best regards.
Niles.
