Choosing Histogram Bins for Time-Indexed Events
A histogram of timestamps estimates an event rate, and its error has a minimum in the bin width. See how to estimate that minimum from the counts, and when the method fails.

Learn how MISE measures the gap between an estimated curve and the unknown truth, and why it cannot be computed directly but can still be minimized.
