This example visualizes two normal distributions as filled, semi-transparent density curves overlaid on the same axes. It shows how the spread and peak of the distributions differ based on their standard deviations. The code uses D3 v4 with SVG rendering, and computes the probability densities using the `jStat` library’s `normal.pdf` function. Random data is generated by the custom `Random_normal_Dist` function, which samples quantiles from a mean and standard deviation. The `d3.line` generator draws the curves, and the horizontal axis is scaled with `d3.scaleLinear`.

This example shows the distributions of two variables as overlaid histograms, enabling visual comparison of their frequency shapes. The code uses d3.csv to load a dataset, then d3.histogram with 40 bins to compute counts per range for each variable. Bars are rendered as SVG rectangles with semi-transparent fills, while d3.scaleLinear and d3.axisBottom/axisLeft construct the axes. A handmade legend uses circles and text to distinguish the two series.

This example shows the distribution of two variables as overlapping histograms, with semi-transparent bars in teal and dark purple to reveal how their ranges compare. The visualization is built with D3.js v4 and rendered as SVG, using `d3.histogram()` to bin the data and `d3.scaleLinear()` for the axes. The code loads a CSV file, filters it by a `type` column, and draws both series on a shared x-axis while scaling the y-axis to the maximum bin count. A handmade legend identifies the two variables.

Distribution Scatter 1

This example visualizes a dynamic scatter plot of 500 values sampled from a normal distribution using `d3.randomNormal`. Vertical rectangles represent each data point, positioned along the x-axis and layered with low opacity. Every five seconds, the background and foreground rectangle colors transition to a new palette, cycling through six predefined color schemes. The visualization is built with D3 v6, rendered as SVG, and uses `transition.attr` to animate color changes over one-second durations.

This example visualizes the distribution of probability estimates from eight verbal uncertainty phrases (such as “Almost Certainly” and “Almost No Chance”) using kernel density estimation. Each smoothed density curve is colored with a viridis scale based on the group mean, revealing differences in central tendency and spread across categories. The visualization uses D3 v4 to load CSV data from GitHub, compute the means, and render the densities as SVG paths. The kernel density estimator applies an Epanechnikov kernel, while axes, gridlines, and labels are drawn with `d3.axisBottom`, `d3.axisLeft`, and the `d3.scaleSequential` with `d3.interpolateViridis`.

Visualizing Distributions

This example compares four chart types for visualizing one-dimensional distributions. It first displays a swarm plot and a pile plot, which use a force-directed layout to position individual data points without overlap, in this case 700 values generated from a log-normal distribution. The example then shows a histogram, constructed using the `d3.layout.histogram()` function to bin the data, and a boxplot, which uses `d3.scale.quantile()` to compute summary statistics. The swarm and pile plots are built using the `d3.forceChart()` plugin from the `force-chart.js` library.

multimodal random

Three normal distributions appear as horizontal dot plots of 10,000 samples each: blue around 25, red around 75, and purple mixing both at equal probability. A purple histogram below aggregates the mixed distribution into 50 bins. Built with D3 v4, the example uses `d3.randomNormal`, `d3.histogram`, and linear scales, rendering SVG circles and rectangles from procedurally generated random data.

mixed multimodal random 2d

This example shows a 2D scatterplot of 10,000 points, where the x-coordinate is sampled from either a normal distribution centered at 75 or one centered at 25, while the y-coordinate comes from a normal distribution centered at 50. The result is a clear bimodal cluster pattern. Using d3.v3 and the d3-random API, it generates random normal values, then maps them to SVG coordinates via a linear scale. The code appends red circles with radius 1 to the SVG canvas, rendering the distribution as a dense point cloud.

Untitled

A kernel density estimation chart displays the distribution of price data from a CSV file, with a smooth green curve showing density across a 0-1000 price range. The visualization uses D3 v6 methods including `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, and a custom `kernelDensityEstimator` with an Epanechnikov kernel. The SVG rendering is built within a React framework, with axes positioned via margins, and the density curve generated using `d3.line` with `curveBasis` smoothing.
