Probability Density Function using ksdensity is not normalized

I have a vector "columnA" of N data points. I want to find the PDF. I use:
xi = min(columnA):1e-9:max(columnA);
f = ksdensity(columnA,xi);
plot(xi,f)
But when I use trapz to integrate f:
trapz(f)/length(xi)
the value is too far from 1. Even when increasing the range of xi, I still do not get reasonable value.

Actually, the output from ksdensity is normalized, but you will have to use numerical integration along the appropriate space. In your case,
trapz(xi,f)
should be close to 1.

Why not use hist() or histc() to get the histogram? The histogram is essentially the probability density function.

The ksdensity produces a Probability density function, no need to divide by the length of the x vector :
x=randn(200,1);
y=[min(x):0.1:max(x)];
p=ksdensity(x,y);
sum(p)
% plot(y,p)
