plotting - How to place legend labels for Histogram and ListLinePlots correctly?


I would like to place AxesLabels:



  1. For x axis at center of the Histogram and LineListPLots.

  2. For y axis rotated 90 degree anti clockwise.



I don't see any options for it?


Histogram[Table[zcb[i],{i,mcRunHJM}],AxesLabel->{Price,Relative Frequency}]

ListLinePlot[Table[zcb[i],{i,mcRunHJM}],PlotRange->{{0,mcRunHJM},{0.9,1.1}}, PlotLabel->Style["Convergence",FontSize->12],AxesLabel->{Simulation Step,Price}]

enter image description here



Answer



For the histogram:


Labeled[Histogram[

  RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 200]], {Rotate[
   "Relative Frequency", 90 Degree], "Price"}, {Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


Addendum


Further to Sebastian's comment to add stats:-


data = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 200];
Labeled[Histogram[data,
  Epilog -> Inset[Framed[Grid[{
       {"Mean =", Mean[data]},

       {"Max =", Max[data]},
       {"Min =", Min[data]}},
      Alignment -> {{Left}}], Background -> White],
    {Right, Top}, {Right, Top}],
  BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Courier"}], {Rotate[
   "Relative Frequency", 90 Degree], "Price"},
 {Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


To show two data sets, two methods:-



dataA = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 200];
dataB = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 100];

Labeled[Histogram[{dataA, dataB},
  ChartStyle -> {ColorData[3, 4], ColorData[3, 6]},
  ChartLegends -> {
    Style[StringJoin["Set A mean = ",
      ToString[Round[Mean[dataA], 10.^-6]]],
     FontFamily -> "Courier"],
    Style[StringJoin["Set B mean = ",

      ToString[Round[Mean[dataB], 10.^-6]]],
     FontFamily -> "Courier"]}],
 {Rotate["Relative Frequency", 90 Degree],
  "Price                         "}, {Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


For more control of appearance the second method uses ShowLegend:-


(* Specify common bin division size *)
histA = Histogram[dataA, {0.5}];
histB = Histogram[dataB, {0.5}];

(* Find common plot range and axes origin *)
minmaxA = First[PlotRange /. Options[histA, PlotRange]];
minmaxB = First[PlotRange /. Options[histB, PlotRange]];
tAB = Transpose[{minmaxA, minmaxB}];
minmaxAB = {Min[First[tAB]], Max[Last[tAB]]};
aoA = First[AxesOrigin /. Options[histA, AxesOrigin]];
aoB = First[AxesOrigin /. Options[histB, AxesOrigin]];
aoAB = Min[aoA, aoB];

Quiet[Needs["PlotLegends`"]];

Labeled[
 ShowLegend[Show[
   Histogram[dataA, {0.5},
    ChartBaseStyle -> {ColorData[3, 4], Opacity[0.5]}],
   Histogram[dataB, {0.5},
    ChartBaseStyle -> {ColorData[3, 6], Opacity[0.5]}],
   PlotRange -> {minmaxAB, {All, All}},
   AxesOrigin -> {aoAB, 0}],

  {{{Graphics[{ColorData[3, 4], Opacity[0.5], Rectangle[]}], 

     Style[StringJoin["Set A mean = ",
       ToString[Round[Mean[dataA], 10.^-6]]],
      FontFamily -> "Courier"]}, {Graphics[{ColorData[3, 6], 
       Opacity[0.5], Rectangle[]}], Style[StringJoin["Set B mean = ",
       ToString[Round[Mean[dataB], 10.^-6]]],
      FontFamily -> "Courier"]}},
   LegendPosition -> {0.2, 0.6},
   LegendSize -> {1.1, 0.25},
   LegendTextSpace -> 8,
   LegendShadow -> None}],

 {Rotate["Relative Frequency", 90 Degree], "Price      "},
 {Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


And a matching ListLinePlot:-


linedataA = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 20];
linedataB = Accumulate[linedataA];

ListLinePlot[{linedataA, linedataB},
 Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}},

 FrameLabel ->
   Map[Style[#, {FontFamily -> "Courier", 13}] &,
   {"Simulation Step", "Price"}],
 PlotLegends -> {"Set A", "Set B"}]

enter image description here


You might find this book useful: Mathematica Navigator. It shows a lot of charting techniques.

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
