frequencies

frequencies(fs, bins[, area])

Counts the number of grid points whose values fall within a set of specified bins.

Parameters

  • fs (Fieldset) – input fieldset

  • bins (list) – bins used for the computations

  • area (list) – area as [North, West, South, East] used for the computations

Return type

list or list of lists

bins is a list with numbers in ascending order defining the bins. The first and last bins are unbounded. E.g. if bins = [0, 10, 20] the following bins are defined:

  • first bin: (, 0)

  • second bin: [0, 10),

  • third bin: [10, 20),

  • fourth bin: [20, ),

Missing values in fs are not included in the results.

If fs has just one field the result is a list of n+1 elements where n is the number of elements in bins. If fs has more than one field the result is a list of lists, one for each field.

Warning

Note that this function accumulates its results between fields in fs!
