Calculate the counts of the weighted values in specified bins and optionally display either a frequency or density histogram.
weighted.hist(x,w,breaks="Sturges",col=NULL,plot=TRUE,
freq=TRUE,ylim,ylab=NULL,xaxis=TRUE,...)A vector of numeric values
A vector of weights at least as long as x.
The endpoints of the ranges into which to count the weighted values.
An optional vector of colors for the bars of the histogram.
Whether to plot a histogram.
Whether to plot counts or densities.
The limits of the plot ordinate.
Label for the ordinate.
Whether to display the default x axis.
Additional arguments passed to barplot.
A list containing:
breaks - The endpoints of the intervals
counts - The weighted counts
density - The weighted counts divided by their sum.
mids - The midpoints of the intervals and the bars displayed.
xname - the name of x.
equidist - Whether the intervals differ by less than the total range/1000.
weighted.hist calculates the weighted counts of values falling into the ranges specified by breaks. Instead of counting each value as 1, it counts the corresponding value in w (the weight).
breaks may be specified by a monotonically increasing vector of numbers that are interpreted as the endpoints of the ranges, a single number representing the number of ranges desired or the name of the function to calculate the ranges (see hist). If a vector of numbers is passed that does not include all values in x, the user is warned. If the ranges are not equal, a warning will be displayed if freq is TRUE or the heights of the bars will be adjusted to display areas approximately equal to the counts if freq is FALSE.
