title: 'HistogramTools: Utility Functions for R Histograms'
version: 0.4.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.HistogramTools
abstract: Provides a number of utility functions useful for manipulating large histograms.
  This includes methods to trim, subset, merge buckets, merge histograms, convert
  to CDF, and calculate information loss due to binning. It also provides a protocol
  buffer representation of R's native histogram class to allow histograms over large
  data sets to be computed and combined in distributed analytical pipelines. Implements
  bin-by-bin histogram distance measures described in Rubner, Tomasi and Guibas (2000)

  and average shifted histograms as in Scott (2015, ISBN:9781118575536).
