| Mar 22, 2014 at 15:45 | comment | added | Wai Yip Tung | Mars, I have their median that is good for start. I am hoping to get more detail observations. Let series 1 is young and drop off earlier. Series 2 is more even, etc. | |

| Mar 22, 2014 at 15:22 | comment | added | Wai Yip Tung | I only have 7 numbers for each series. How can I unbin the data? One of the question is if it is legitimate to interpolate the numbers to get the percentiles. | |
| Mar 22, 2014 at 5:00 | comment | added | Glen_b | (1) What you have drawn isn't really a histogram (in histograms, contigous bars touch); it'a a barplot, which is more appropriate for non-contiguous categorical variables. (2) You could compare ecdfs. If you can unbin, you might compare boxplots, or kernel density estimates (or, combining the two, violin plots). The suggestion of ttnphns to plot them back-to-back makes sense. | |
| Mar 22, 2014 at 4:46 | comment | added | Mars | How about substracting one from other, and then plot that above and below the zero axis. I'm wondering what sorts of information you want to emphasize. When you say that series 2 is more to the right, maybe you are comparing means?. | |
| Mar 22, 2014 at 4:05 | comment | added | ttnphns | BTW you could draw bars opposite-side, like in population pyramid | |
