This function produces the information required to plot a histogram. This is done without allowing for bins (cells) with number of counts less than the pre-specified disclosure control set for the minimum cell size of a table. If a bin has less counts than this threshold then their counts and its density are replaced by a 0 value.
histogramDS2(xvect, num.breaks, min, max, method.indicator, k, noise)a list with an object of class histogram and the number of invalid cells
the numeric vector for which the histogram is desired.
the number of breaks that the range of the variable is divided.
a numeric, the lower limit of the distribution.
a numeric, the upper limit of the distribution.
a number equal to either 1, 2 or 3 indicating the method of disclosure control that is used for the generation of the histogram. If the value is equal to 1 then the 'smallCellsRule' is used. If the value is equal to 2 then the 'deterministic' method is used. If the value is set to 3 then the 'probabilistic' method is used.
the number of the nearest neighbours for which their centroid is calculated if the
method.indicator is equal to 2 (i.e. deterministic method).
the percentage of the initial variance that is used as the variance of the embedded
noise if the method.indicator is equal to 3 (i.e. probabilistic method).
