In undergrad stats i learned that 11 was a nice number of bins, and indeed both matplotlib and matlab seem to have that as the default. The validity of such a model is shown to follow naturally from the elementary gestalt laws of vicinity, similarity, and continuity of direction.

If i choose width of parzen window and window function as a gaussian function, the pdf formula is. What i ended up doing was plotting the data using various bins until, by inspection, i was satisfied by the smoothness of the histogram. Nonparametric methods neither probability distribution nor discriminant function is known happens quite. Implement the kerneldensity estimationbased method for dynamically learning the pixelcolor distribution for the fore. Here is a fun little animation showing how the parzen window estimate of a pdf thin.
