Analyzing the fine structure of distributions.

ABSTRACT: One aim of data mining is the identification of interesting structures in data. For better analytical results, the basic properties of an empirical distribution, such as skewness and eventual clipping, i.e. hard limits in value ranges, need to be assessed. Of particular interest is the question of whether the data originate from one process or contain subsets related to different states of the data producing process. Data visualization tools should deliver a clear picture of the univariate probability density distribution (PDF) for each feature. Visualization tools for PDFs typically use kernel density estimates and include both the classical histogram, as well as the modern tools like ridgeline plots, bean plots and violin plots. If density estimation parameters remain in a default settin
