I am willing to overlay a equalized cdf with equalized histogram in matlab. But it's really hard to find any recommends. so if you can, would you please let me know about that?

$\begingroup$ Maybe you want to overlay the PDF with the histogram? $\endgroup$ – Gilles Oct 23 '14 at 9:11

$\begingroup$ No I want to overlay plot with cdf. $\endgroup$ – Carter Oct 23 '14 at 13:48

You can use 'hold on' with a histogram:
[n,x]=hist(rand(1,100),20); % find the histogram
bar(x,n./sum(n)) % plot normalized histogram
hold on % don't delete current plot
plot([0 1],[0.1 0.1]) % plot a uniform pdf
axis([0 1 0 0.12]) % make room around the plot
Another example using a normal distribution, which shows how to normalize the histogram so that its area is one:
r=randn(1,1000); % normal random variable
[n,x]=hist(r,25);
delta=x(2)-x(1);
n=n./(delta*sum(n)); % n is normalized so that its area is 1
bar(x,n)
hold on
d=-4:0.1:4;
plot(d,(1/sqrt(2*pi))*exp(-(d.*d)./2),'r') % plot of the normal pdf

$\begingroup$ Thanks but it does not realized with equalized cdf. Where can I find equalized CDF in your code? $\endgroup$ – Carter Oct 23 '14 at 3:51

$\begingroup$ Even it was just made by hard plot and not equalized CDF. $\endgroup$ – Carter Oct 23 '14 at 4:16

$\begingroup$ Your question is how to overlay a plot with a histogram, not how to obtain an "equalized CDF" (which I assumed is just a PDF), which is an entirely different question. In my answer, I'm simulating a uniform random variable (with
randin the first line), and I plot a uniform PDF in line 4. $\endgroup$ – MBaz Oct 23 '14 at 13:27 -
$\begingroup$ Thanks. this looks like so. I need make to another post same subject. $\endgroup$ – Carter Oct 23 '14 at 13:47

$\begingroup$ @user1917217: I've added another example that shows more clearly how to normalize the histogram to obtain a probability density function (pdf). $\endgroup$ – MBaz Oct 23 '14 at 13:50
