[ferret_users] Bins with frequency_histogram
Hello,
I want to understand how "frequency_histogram.jnl" computes the number of occurences of a value within a certain bin. For instance, in the example contained within the script:
yes? SET DATA levitus_climatology
yes? GO frequency_histogram temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] 0 32 0.5
The output lists 1107 occurrences of a temperature of 27.50. Does this mean that there are 1107 temperatures between 27.00 and 27.50? To check this I did an ad hoc method:
yes?let test = if temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] gt 27.0 and temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] le 27.5 then temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0]
yes?let good = test[i=@ngd,j=@ngd,k=@ngd]
This gives me 1137 which isn't the same as 1107. What's going on here and which one is right?
Another note: when I try running the "frequency_histogram2.jnl" script, I get this error:
**ERROR: command syntax: bin_index_wt(fh_indsort, fh_wtsort, vn+1)
unknown function "bin_index_wt"
DEFINE VARIABLE/QUIET fh_fbins = bin_index_wt(fh_indsort, fh_wtsort, vn+1)
Command file, command group, or REPEAT execution aborted
Thanks,
Steve
