I read about the billion price project a while back and thought it was pretty darn cool... As an aside, any reason you like keeping the histogram plots vs fitting a KDE? If we were plotting straight prices it might make sense (they're discrete), but binning for YoY changes seems suboptimal, esp. close to zero.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573676479008697357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837159629100463303.post-38369676068155284792016-10-18T08:01:51.635-07:002016-10-18T08:01:51.635-07:00Thanks for the tip.

This large dataset issue may just be the motivation that gets me there.<br /><br />But yes, if you're into it, it'd be great to have an independent check!Jason Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680061127040420047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837159629100463303.post-77283403398204742782016-10-17T11:42:35.824-07:002016-10-17T11:42:35.824-07:00Hi Jason,

I think I get how the pseudo code for this works... If I get a chance, I'll try to code this up and reproduce it (I've got a workstation with some decent juice, so may not even need to use tricks to deal with the out-of-memory issues).Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573676479008697357noreply@blogger.com
