Logarithmic Bins for Histogram

  • Follow


I need to do a histogram with logarithmically spaced bins.  The data ranges from 4.327e-24 and are as large as 4.924e-17.  How can I choose a good size for the smallest bin and then do the rest of the bins from there?  I imagine that I will be using histc because I have a clearly defined min and max value.

I hope to make this repeatable depending on the range of the data.  Thanks in advance for your help.

perhaps logspace() over the range?
