FHist.jl

Fast, error-aware, and thread-safe 1D/2D/3D histograms that are also compatible with StatsBase.Histogram

Changelog

• 0.11
  • Breaking change to the main constructor API, now the API is sanely divided into "constructor for empty histogram" and "make histogram given data". See documentation.
• 0.10
  • due to huge latency issue, UnicodePlots.jl (for text based terminal display) has been dropped.

Quick Start

julia> using FHist

julia> a = randn(1000);

julia> h1 = Hist1D(a; binedges = -4:1.0:4)
edges: -4.0:1.0:4.0
bin counts: [0, 23, 123, 377, 320, 134, 21, 2]
total count: 1000

julia> h2 = Hist1D(; counttype = Int, binedges = -4.0:1.0:4.0);

julia> push!.(h2, a);

julia> Threads.@threads for v in a
           atomic_push!(h2, v) # thread-safe
       end

julia> h1+h1 == h2
true

Additionally, one can specify overflow=true when creating a histogram to clamp out-of-bounds values into the edge bins.

julia> Hist1D(rand(1000); binedges = 0:0.2:0.9, overflow=true)
edges: 0.0:0.2:0.8
bin counts: [218, 183, 198, 401]
total count: 1000

Speed

Single-threaded filling happens at 400 MHz

julia> a = randn(10^6);

julia> @benchmark Hist1D(a; binedges = -3:0.01:3)
BenchmarkTools.Trial: 2578 samples with 1 evaluation.
 Range (min … max):  1.871 ms …  3.360 ms  ┊ GC (min … max): 0.00% … 0.00%
