Histogram (Hist)

A Hist object represents a mapping from quantities to their frequencies or counts.

Hist is a subclass of a Pandas Series, so it has all Series methods, although some are overridden to change their behavior.

Bases: Pmf

Represents a Pmf that maps from values to frequencies/counts.
