#Can u add adaptive binning based on skewness?<|end|>
<|assistant|>#Sure thing! Let’s first calculate skewness using scipy.stats.skew then adjust `hist_bins` accordingly.
python
from scipy.stats import skew
def plot_hist_and_fit(ax, x, y, hist_bins=None, density=True,
color='k', fit_type='norm', fit_color='r',
plot_pdf=False, **kwargs):
# Calculate skewness
skewness = skew(x)
# Adaptive binning based on skewness
if hist_bins is None:
if abs(skewness) > 1:
hist_bins = int(np.sqrt(len(x)) * 1.5) # More bins for highly skewed data
else:
hist_bins = int(np.sqrt(len(x))) # Default binning
# Rest of your code...
This snippet adjusts `hist_bins` based on skewness.<|end|>
<|user|>#Nice! Can u also overlay both normal n t-distribution fits?<|end|>
<|assistant|>#Sure! I'll modify it so both distributions are plotted together.
python
def plot_hist_and_fit(ax, x, y, hist_bins=None, density=True,
color='k', fit_colors=('r', 'b'),
plot_pdf=False, **kwargs):
# Calculate skewness for adaptive binning
skewness = skew(x)
if hist_bins is None:
if abs(skewness) > 1:
hist_bins = int(np.sqrt(len(x)) * 1.5)
else:
hist_bins = int(np.sqrt(len(x)))
xmin,xmax=get_xrange(np.min(y),np.max(y),np.mean(x)-3*np.std(x),np.mean(x)+3*np.std(x))
ax.hist(x,hist_bins,histtype='stepfilled',range=(xmin,xmax),
density=density,color=color,alpha=0.5,**kwargs)
xfit=np.linspace(xmin,xmax,num=1000)
# Normal distribution fit
mean = np.mean(x)
std = np.std(x)
norm_pdf=scipy.stats.norm.pdf(xfit,mean,std)
ax.plot(xfit,norm_pdf,color=fit_colors[0],label='Normal Fit',**kwargs)
# T-distribution fit
t_params=scipy.stats.t.fit(x)
t_pdf=scipy.stats.t.pdf(xfit,*t_params)
ax.plot(xfit,t_pdf,color=fit_colors[1],label='T Fit',**kwargs)
# Rest remains same...
Now both normal (`'r'`) and t-distribution (`'b'`) fits are overlaid.<|end|>
<|user|>#Great! Can u add confidence intervals around PDFs?<|end|>
<|assistant|>#Sure! I'll add shaded regions representing confidence intervals around both PDFs.
