Dear all, this is probably a very naive question but I can't understand what hist() means by density.
A very simple example: h <- hist(c(1,1,2,3), plot=F) h$counts [1] 2 1 0 1 h$density [1] 1.0 0.5 0.0 0.5 The counts are as I expect, but density is quite puzzling for me. I would have expected to obtain the probability of that bin (i.e. 0.5, 0.25, 0, 0.25), but I can't understand how those numbers come out. Sometimes sum(h$density) is equal to 1 as I would expect, though. What am I misunderstanding here? Thanks a lot for the help!
