Logarithmic histograms with variable bin widths
Many channels, however, produce open or closed distributions consisting of more than one type of state with radically
different mean dwell times. In such circumstances it proves difficult to adequately represent the whole distribution of
times using a single fixed bin width. For example, a closed time distribution composed of two types of states, one with a
mean dwell time of 1 ms and the other with a mean of 40 ms cannot be easily represented on a linear histogram, as
shown in the example histogram (100 bins, 1ms bin width). The 1ms bin width is too large to adequately represent the
distribution of the short closures and too small to accumulate significant numbers of the long events in any one. bin.
