:: (yielding fractionally larger bins and a total range that starts a little below the minimum observed value, and ends a little above the maximum observed value)

:: Arguably reasonable for us to do something comparable ? [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 12:26, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

::: PS the dependence of edge cases on mutable assumptions (e.g. the relationship between the range of the sample and the range of possible/graphed values) may be underscored by the result given by the '''Mathematica 11 Histogram function''', which (if we specify only a target number of bins) allocates the same sample as follows (different pattern again, but still 5 sparkline levels):

:::: <code>Histogram[{0, 999, 4000, 4999, 7000, 7999}, {"Raw", 8}] --> </code>

:::: [2, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1]

::::

:::: And similarly the '''R''' expression <code>hist(c(0, 999, 4000, 4999, 7000, 7999), breaks=8)</code>

:::: Returns a distribution of 5 [2, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1], again using 5 bins rather than 3.
