cumulative histogram
A cumulative histogram is a graphical representation that shows the cumulative frequency of data points in a dataset. It displays how many observations fall below or at each value, gradually accumulating the total as you move along the range of values. This allows you to see the overall distribution and trends in data, such as how many values are at or below a certain point. Unlike a regular histogram that shows counts for specific intervals, a cumulative histogram emphasizes the total counts up to each interval, providing a clearer picture of the dataset's distribution.
