init_histogram

nbi_stat.init_histogram(bins, weighted=False)[source]

Initialize a histogram structure

The returned structure can be passed to fill_histogram as the second argument unraveled by a *

Parameters:

  • bins (array-like) – Array of bin borders of length N+1

  • weighted (bool, optional) – If true, then also include space for weighted filling

Returns:

  • bins (array-like) – The bin borders. Returned here so we can pass to fill_histogram

  • sumw (array-like) – The N bin content holders

  • sumw2 (array-like or None) – The N bin squared weights

Examples

>>> hist = init_histogram(np.linspace(-3,3,31))
