I am having an incredible amount of difficulty in finding a direct answer to this question. I have an array S that is 300x1. Using histogram(S) I obtain the following histogram:
This histogram is exactly what I need except for one problem. I want this to be a relative frequency histogram. As in, I want the y-axis values to be a percentage of the total number of data points (300). For example, the bin between 0.5 and 0.6 is approximately 73, so I would want it to read as (73/300) or 0.243.
I have seen many answers to this type of question telling users to use the hist function and then create a bar graph. I do not want a bar graph. I want the x-axis to remain unchanged as the actual data values, NOT as bin numbers. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Look at the 'Normalization' property.

if we want to find the area under this histogram then how can we do that?

Extract the bin values from the histogram, add them and multiply them by the bin width:
%%create histogram
x = randn(1000,1);
nbins = 25;
h = histogram(x,nbins)
%%extract parameters
counts = h.Values;
sum_counts = sum(counts);
width = h.BinWidth;
%%area of the histogram
area = sum_counts*width;

hi
i want to normalized the histogram
i use the hist
[f x]=hist(fn,nbins);
dx = diff(x(1:2));
bar(x,f./(sum(f.*dx)));
how i can use the histogram
thank you

insted of that you can use this code
if fn is your data set:
histogram(fn,nbins,'Normalization','pdf')
