ata. Examples -------- When we roll a die 6000 times, we expect to get each value around 1000 times. But when we roll two dice and sum the result, the distribution is going to be quite different. A histogram illustrates those distributions. .. plot:: :context: close-figs >>> df = pd.DataFrame( ... np.random.randint(1, 7, 6000), ... columns = ['one']) >>> df['two'] = df['one'] + np.random.randint(1, 7, 6000) >>> ax = df.plot.hist(bins=12, alpha=0.5) A grouped histogram can be generated by providing the parameter `by` (which can be a column name, or a list of column names): .. plot:: :context: close-figs >>> age_list = [8, 10, 12, 14, 72, 74, 76, 78, 20, 25, 30, 35, 60, 85] >>> df = pd.DataFrame({"gender": list("MMMMMMMMFFFFFF"), "age": age_list}) >>> ax = df.plot.hist(column=["age"], by="gender", figsize=(10, 8)) rI
