Can anyone provide a good derivation of the FD rule? Or explain why it is a good way to define the bin widths of a histogram. Are there any other similar rules and how do they compare?

$\begingroup$ Can you give us a link to the Freedman and Diaconis paper where the rule is defined and explained. $\endgroup$– Michael R. ChernickCommented Dec 15, 2017 at 0:26

$\begingroup$ The original paper on this is actually quite accessible (On the Histogram as a Density Estimator: L 2 Theory ): citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/… $\endgroup$– Alex R.Commented Dec 15, 2017 at 1:13
