histogram {SparkR}R Documentation

Compute histogram statistics for given column

Description

This function computes a histogram for a given SparkR Column.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,characterOrColumn'
histogram(df, col,
  nbins = 10)

Arguments

df

the SparkDataFrame containing the Column to build the histogram from.

col

the column as Character string or a Column to build the histogram from.

nbins

the number of bins (optional). Default value is 10.

Value

a data.frame with the histogram statistics, i.e., counts and centroids.

Note

histogram since 2.0.0

Examples

## Not run: 
##D 
##D # Create a SparkDataFrame from the Iris dataset
##D irisDF <- createDataFrame(iris)
##D 
##D # Compute histogram statistics
##D histStats <- histogram(irisDF, irisDF$Sepal_Length, nbins = 12)
##D 
##D # Once SparkR has computed the histogram statistics, the histogram can be
##D # rendered using the ggplot2 library:
##D 
##D require(ggplot2)
##D plot <- ggplot(histStats, aes(x = centroids, y = counts)) +
##D         geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
##D         xlab("Sepal_Length") + ylab("Frequency")
## End(Not run)
