SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE DISCRE(X,N,Xmin,Xdel,Xmax,Y)
DESCRIPTION
discre(3f) ’discretizes’ the data of the REAL vector x. the first class interval is from xmin to xmin + xdel; the second class interval is from xmin+ xdel to xmin + 2*xdel; etc.all values in the vector x within a given class will be mapped into the midpoint of that class.
all values in the vector x smaller than xmin will be mapped into xmin - (xdel/2.0).
all values in the vector x larger than xmax will be mapped into xmax + (xdel/2.0).
the use of discre(3f) (and the discr2 and discr3 subroutines) gives the data analyst the capability of constructing a discrete variate from a continuous one.
the resulting discrete variate might then (for example) be analyzed in itself for gross structure, or for adherence to some theoretical discrete probability model, or the discrete variate might be used as a subset definition vector for some other variate.
