How To Determine Number And Size Of Histogram Bins
"I have several thousand rows of data which I need to group into appropriate sized bins for a histogram. The problem is in determining the correct number and size for each bin, i.e. if I had a bunch of test scores and didn't have pre-determined bins (A,B,C,D,F) that were already sized (> 90, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, <60), how would I figure out the number and size of the bins?"
