◆ getBin()

unsigned int getBin ( float datapoint ) const

Gets the bin corresponding to the given datapoint.

There are no overflow/underflow bins, so data points outside the original range are mapped to the first and last bin.

Parameters

datapoint for which the bin is returned

        bin = m_boundaries.size() - 1;
      return bin - 1;
 
    }

◆ normalizePDFs()

void normalizePDFs ( )

Normalizes the PDF values, so their sum is 1.
