HISTORY OF HISTOGRAM

 Origin

 First used by Karl Pearson, an English mathematician,


in 1891.
 He used it in his talks at University College London to
describe a way to show continuous data in a graph.
 The idea of using bar-like graphs goes back to William
Playfair in 1786.
HISTORY OF HISTOGRAM

 Early Use and Development

 Statisticians used similar graphs before Pearson gave


them a name.
 Pearson wanted to create standard terms and methods
for statistics in the late 1800s.
 He described histograms as "time-diagrams," which
came from Greek words for vertical bars, not history.
HISTORY OF HISTOGRAM
 Evolution and Popularization

 After Pearson's introduction, histograms became popular tools


for showing large amounts of data in a simple way.
 They developed into different types, like equal-width and
variable-width histograms.
 Today, histograms are important in many fields, such as
economics, biology, and engineering, for understanding data
patterns.
Karl Pearson
o Pearson introduced the term
"histogram" in 1891 during his lectures
at University College London, providing
a formal name and definition for this
type of graphical representation of
data.

o He was part of a broader effort to


standardize statistical terminology and
methods in the late 19th century. His
work laid the groundwork for the formal
use of histograms in statistical analysis.
What is histogram?
 A histogram is a type of bar graph used to
represent the frequency distribution of a
dataset.
 It is a powerful visual tool that helps to
understand how data points are spread across
different ranges or intervals.
 Histograms are particularly useful for
identifying patterns, trends, and potential
outliers within a dataset.
Structures and Components
 Bins (Intervals): The x-axis (horizontal axis) of a
histogram is divided into consecutive, non-
overlapping intervals called bins. Each bin
represents a range of values in the dataset. The
choice of bin width can significantly affect the
appearance and interpretation of the histogram
.
 Frequency (Count): The y-axis (vertical axis)
represents the frequency or count of data points
that fall within each bin. The height of each bar
corresponds to the number of data points in that
bin.
