如何归一化 matplotlib 直方图中的概率分布值？

Question

我试图在同一个图上同时显示累积分布和 non-cumulative 分布。

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 5))

n, bins, patches = ax.hist(x, n_bins, density=True, stacked=True, histtype='step',
                           cumulative=True, label='Empirical cumulative')

# Overlay a non-cumulative histogram.
ax.hist(x, bins=bins, density=True, stacked=True, histtype='step', cumulative=False, label='Empirical non-cumulative')

plt.show()

Empirical cumulative 曲线看起来很好，值不超过 1。但是，Empirical non-cumulative 曲线的 Y 值高于 1。我如何将它们归一化？

示例数据：

n_bins = 20
x = [
 0.0051055006412772065,
 0.09770815865459548,

使用 probability 而不是 probability density 创建直方图的最简单方法是使用 seaborn 的 sns.histplot(.... stat='probability').

要用标准的 matplotlib 模拟这一点，您可以手动计算所有值。例如：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

n_bins = 20
x = np.random.normal(0, 1, (1000, 3))
bin_edges = np.linspace(x.min(), x.max(), n_bins + 1)
bin_values = np.array([np.histogram(x[:, i], bins=bin_edges)[0] for i in range(x.shape[1])])
cum_values = bin_values.cumsum(axis=1).cumsum(axis=0)
cum_values = cum_values / cum_values.max()

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 5))
prev = 0
for c in cum_values:
    plt.step(np.append(bin_edges, bin_edges[-1]), np.concatenate([[0], c, [prev]]))
    prev = c[-1]

ax.set_prop_cycle(None)
prev = 0
for c in cum_values:
    c = np.diff(c)
    plt.step(np.append(bin_edges, bin_edges[-1]), np.concatenate([[0], c, [c[-1], prev]]), ls='--')
    prev = c[-1]

plt.show()

如果您只有一个发行版，stacked=True 没有区别。代码会更简单：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

n_bins = 20
x = np.random.normal(0, 1, 1000)
bin_edges = np.linspace(x.min(), x.max(), n_bins + 1)
bin_values = np.histogram(x, bins=bin_edges)[0]
cum_values = bin_values.cumsum()
cum_values = cum_values / cum_values.max()

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.step(np.append(bin_edges, bin_edges[-1]), np.concatenate([[0], cum_values, [0]]))

ax.set_prop_cycle(None)
c = np.diff(cum_values)
plt.step(np.append(bin_edges, bin_edges[-1]), np.concatenate([[0], c, [c[-1], 0]]), ls='--')

plt.show()
