From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Wed Jan 29 08:46:54 2003 Subject: Combining histograms and function plots From: Toke Reichstein To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 15:45:47 +0100 (MET) Hi, I am using Octave simply as a data handler and for minor calculations. I also use it as a tool for graphical illustartion of data structures. And it is in this resepct I have problem. I am making histogram plots of some simulation generated data. These are supposed to be normally distributed. I would like to combine my formal statistical test with a visual plot of the data. But ontop of the histogram I would also like to have the normal distribution function drawn. It is in this resepct I am experiencing problems. Q1: How do I plot a normal distribution function with the mean and standard deviation of my data in Octave? Q2: How do I plot it ontop of my histogram plots? Hope you are able to help me. I have been going through both the gnuplot manual and the Octave manual. I have no problem plotting in Gnuplot. But it seems the procedure is well hitten in the Octave manual. Thanx in advance for responding. Toke -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toke Reichstein Aalborg University Cand. Oecon. (M.Sc.
