Determination of the Number of Bins/Classes Used in Histograms and Frequency Tables: A Short Bibliography

Öz

The histogram is the oldest and most popular tool for graphical display of a univariate set of data. An important parameter that needs to be specified when constructing a histogram is the bin width (also called the interval width or class width). This is simply the length of the subintervals of the real line, sometimes called “bins” or “intervals” (also called “classes”), on which the histogram is based. Frequency distributions facilitate the organization and presentation of data. A major issue with all classifying techniques is how to select the number of classes. There is no “correct” answer for every set of data. Each case must be treated separately; each frequency table must be designed individually. The number of bins / classes increases as the sample size increases. Larson’s (1975) formula had the lowest number of bins / classes and the Ishikawa’s (1986) formula had the highest one for n>300. The aim of this study is to give a short bibliography for bins/class numbers.
