Library:	plot
See also:	plotboxcl plotdotcl

Quantlet:		plothistcl
Description:		Plots histograms of classified data.

Usage:	`plothistcl(gr,fr)`
Input:
	`gr`	a matrix of interval bounds
	`fr`	a matrix of interval frequencies

Note:

Each column of the gr matrix represents a grid (must be ordered ascendently) and each corresponding column of fr matrix represents the numbers of observations in the corresponding intervals (given by gr matrix). E.g., for gr=#(1,2,3)~#(10,15,20) and fr=#(7,4)~#(14,16) the first dataset contains 7 observations in the interval [1,2) and 4 observations in the interval [2,3). The same is true for the second column. The representative for each interval is the mean of its boundaries.

Example:

library("plot") x=#(1,5,7,9,11,15,20,21,25,29)~(1:10) x=x~#(1,3,8,9,10,13,18,20,21,50) y=#(1,6,4,3,15,10,9,4,5)~(1:9)~#(5,1,5,1,5,1,5,1,5) plothistcl(x,y)

Result:

shows histograms of gr
