pdf()

Returns a probability density function (PDF)

Syntax
y = pdf(data, numBins, minBin, maxBin)

Argument
Name Description Range Type Default Required
data the signal (-∞, ∞) real   yes
numBins number of subintervals or bins used to measure PDF [1, ∞) real log(numOfPts)/log(2.0) no
minBin beginning of the evaluation of the PDF (-∞, ∞) real minimum value of the data no
maxBin end of the evaluation of the PDF (-∞, ∞) real maximum value of the data no

Examples

y = pdf(data)
y = pdf(data, 20)
