matplotlib之histograms

直方图笔记

1. 画直方图。

# create 2x2 grid of axis subplots
fig, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=True)
axs = [ax1,ax2,ax3,ax4]

# draw n = 10, 100, 1000, and 10000 samples from the normal distribution and plot corresponding histograms
for n in range(0,len(axs)):
    sample_size = 10**(n+1)
    sample = np.random.normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=sample_size)
    axs[n].hist(sample)
    axs[n].set_title('n={}'.format(sample_size))

2.设置hist的bin值

如何选择bin的数目。

http://users.stat.umn.edu/~gmeeden/papers/hist.pdf

# repeat with number of bins set to 100
fig, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=True)
axs = [ax1,ax2,ax3,ax4]

for n in range(0,len(axs)):
    sample_size = 10**(n+1)
    sample = np.random.normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=sample_size)
    axs[n].hist(sample, bins=100)
    axs[n].set_title('n={}'.format(sample_size))

3.

plt.figure()
Y = np.random.normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=10000)
X = np.random.random(size=10000)
plt.scatter(X,Y)

4.使用matplotlib.gridspec作图

# use gridspec to partition the figure into subplots
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec

plt.figure()
gspec = gridspec.GridSpec(3, 3)

top_histogram = plt.subplot(gspec[0, 1:])
side_histogram = plt.subplot(gspec[1:, 0])
lower_right = plt.subplot(gspec[1:, 1:])

5. hist的orientation设置。

Y = np.random.normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=10000)
X = np.random.random(size=10000)
lower_right.scatter(X, Y)
top_histogram.hist(X, bins=100)
s = side_histogram.hist(Y, bins=100, orientation='horizontal')

6. clear()函数

# clear the histograms and plot normed histograms
top_histogram.clear()
top_histogram.hist(X, bins=100, normed=True)
side_histogram.clear()
side_histogram.hist(Y, bins=100, orientation='horizontal', normed=True)
# flip the side histogram's x axis
side_histogram.invert_xaxis()

7.坐标范围限制

# change axes limits
for ax in [top_histogram, lower_right]:
    ax.set_xlim(0, 1)
for ax in [side_histogram, lower_right]:
    ax.set_ylim(-5, 5)
