Plotting already sorted histogram data stored in a panda dataframe










1















I have a .csv file with histogram data in it, already binned & normalised which i read into a panda dataframe df:



Freq
0.4
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.01
0.05
0.1
0.04
0.05
0.05
0.02
0.08
0.10
0.03
0.07


I would like to plot this in a cumulative distribution histogram using matplotlib, but the pyplot.hist sorts the data and bins it again - which is not what I want.



plt.hist(df.loc[(data_tor['Freq'], cumulative = True)


Can anyone tell me how to do this?

  • From the data, the binning in use isn't obvious. Once you have the binning that has been used to create the dataframe you may plot a bar plot from the bins and the data.

You can use:



df['Freq'].cumsum().plot(drawstyle='steps')


enter image description here



And to fill under the curve:



ax = df['Freq'].cumsum().plot(drawstyle='steps')
ax.fill_between(df.index, 0, df['Freq'].cumsum(), step="pre")


enter image description here

  • Great - thanks. Supplementary question: Do you know how to fill under the plot?

  • @abinitio You are welcome! Use: ax = df['Freq'].cumsum().plot(drawstyle='steps') ax.fill_between(df.index, 0, df['Freq'].cumsum(), step="pre")

  • Note for future readers: This answer is correct if the binning that has been used starts at -1 which is pretty uncommon.
