The Freedman-Diaconis Rule says that the optimal bin size of a histogram is $$ \text{Bin Size} = 2 \cdot \text{IQR}(x) n^{-1/3}$$ where $x$ is the data and $n$ is the number of observations in the data …

For discretization, I'm using Freedman-Diaconis rule which computes the optimal number of bins which will be given input to KBinsDiscretizer. … Freedman-Diaconis' rule states that, $$ \text{bin width}, h=2\frac{\operatorname{IQR}(x)}{n^{1/3}} $$ $$ \text{number of bins}, k = \frac{range(x)}{h} $$ The column has $32561$ values. …

Scott's and Freedman–Diaconis rules of the thumb are based on the following formula: In the article here it is stated that: While these appear to be useful estimates for unimodal densities … My question is, will Scott and Freedman–Diaconis rules of the thumb estimate the correct number of bins on distributions with more than one peak? …

Wikipedia reports that under the Freedman and Diaconis rule, the optimal number of bins in an histogram, $k$ should grow as $$k\sim n^{1/3}$$ where $n$ is the sample size. … The Freedman–Diaconis rule is: $$h=2\frac{\operatorname{IQR}(x)}{n^{1/3}}$$ …

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?

Are there any rules like the one dimensional Freedman-Diaconis available for the high dimensional case? What are the most common drawbacks? I'm planning to use the histogram to do density estimation. …

I am aware of Sturge’s and Freedman-Diaconis rules. … I am looking for an equation/ test, similar to Sturge’s and Freedman-Diaconis rules, that can do this. …

My question: have you ever applied this specific approach and when should it be preferred to Freedman-Diaconis rule? …

Currently, I'd like to use the Freedman-Diaconis rule for determine bin widths: $h=2\times\text{IQR}\times N^{-1/3}$ (where $h$ is the bin width). … The problem with this is that each dataset would have a different IQR, and thus a different recommendation for the bin width according to Freedman-Diaconis. …

I applied Freedman-Diaconis Rule trying to “bin” my data: Applying log scale for the y-axis: Freedman-Diaconis Rule: Gives high number of bins, distribution positively skewed, but the distribution does …

For example, suppose the Freedman-Diaconis estimator (or another estimator, e.g., Sturges' rule) yields a histogram A with 9 bins and a histogram B with 8 bins. …

The Knuth rule (I have some bimodal cases so I'm not using Freedman-Diaconis or Scott) gives me the following histogram (there are 914 data points): The problem is that there are two bins with less …

I used minitab to draw a normal distribution histogram and saw that the number of bins in that graph doesn't follow any rules to calculate bin size that I know of (sturge, square-root, rice, freedman-diaconis …

My current approach is to compute the mean of the optimal bin widths for each histogram according to the Freedman-Diaconis rule (for the purposes of this question, I am neglecting the possibility of variable …
