Abstract

The piecewise linear histogram can be used as a simple and efficient tool for the density estimator. But, this piecewise linear histogram is discontinuous function. We suppose the piecewise continuous linear histogram as a simple and efficient tool for the density estimator and the alternative of the piecewise linear histogram.
