Density bins and histogram bins as data frames

Description

Generates a data frame of bins representing the kernel density (or histogram) of a vector, suitable for use in generating predictive distributions for visualization. These functions were originally designed for use with the now-deprecated predict_curve(), and may be deprecated in the future.

Usage

density_bins(x, n = 101, ...)

histogram_bins(x, n = 30, breaks = n, ...)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector

n

Number of bins

...

Additional arguments passed to density() or hist().

breaks

Used to set bins for histogram_bins. Can be number of bins (by default it is set to the value of n) or a method for setting bins. See the breaks argument of hist().

Details

These functions are simple wrappers to density() and hist() that compute density estimates and return their results in a consistent format: a data frame of bins suitable for use with the now-deprecated predict_curve().

density_bins computes a kernel density estimate using density().

histogram_bins computes a density histogram using hist().

Value

A data frame representing bins and their densities with the following columns:

mid

Bin midpoint

lower

Lower endpoint of each bin

upper

Upper endpoint of each bin

density

Density estimate of the bin
