How do I go about creating a histogram with a given CDF function? The sign(x) correlates to + or - depending on the sign of x



CDF

    Your question is not clear. Just how is that "given CDF function" used by the histogram? Do you want a histogram of a random variable that uses the probability distribution function given by that CDF? Do you want a histogram that closely approximates the graph of the function you show? Or something else? And how many bars do you want in that histogram? Which part of the real line do you want to show? Which graphics environment to you want to use (matplotlib, etc)? And so on.
