Description

The histogram density estimator returns a histogram of the sample distribution. The positions and sizes of the bins are determined using a specifiable number of cached samples (cache_size). The range between the minimum and the maximum of the cached samples is subdivided into a specifiable number of bins (num_bins) of same size. Additionally, an under- and an overflow bin is added to capture future under- and overflow samples. Once the bins are determined, the cached samples and all subsequent samples are added to the correct bins. At the end, a range of std::pair is return, where each pair contains the position of the bin (lower bound) and the samples count (normalized with the total number of samples).

density_impl public construct/copy/destruct

  1. template<typename Args> density_impl(Args const & args);

density_impl public member functions

  1. template<typename Args> void operator()(Args const & args);
  2. template<typename Args> result_type result(Args const & args) const;

    Requires:

    The number of samples must meet or exceed the cache size
