Bin

A chart word, with the charts that use it.

Definition

A bin is a range of values grouped into one bar, so a distribution shows its shape. Every value falls into exactly one bin, and the bar's height is how many fell there.

Common mistakes

Bins that are too wide

A few wide bins hide the shape. Narrow them until the peak and the tail show.

Bins of different widths

Uneven bins make some bars look bigger than they are. Keep one width.

Questions

How many bins should a histogram have?

Enough to show the shape: often 15 to 40. Fewer hides detail, more turns into noise.

Is a bin the same as a bar?

A bin is the range; the bar is how it is drawn.
