[ncl-talk] The number of bin sizes in pdf

[Sri.durgesh Nandini-Weiss]

Hello everyone,

I plotted a few probability distributions of hist and RCP4.5 changes for 
sea level, with different bin numbers to test out the results. The 
choice of the bin numbers (e.g. 40 or 100) affects the interpretation of 
the results.

Can someone tell me the difference or the proper method to estimate the 
bin numbers (or better to avoid this by fitting the data to a cumulative 
distribution curve e.g. CDF?)

I can apply a kernel smoothing function on the distribution but i'm not 
sure how the results are changed further.

Sri
