Als Alternativen — insbesondere innerhalb von Computerprogrammen — zum klassischen Histogramm werden verschiedene Methoden der nichtparametrischen Dichteschätzungen vorgeschlagen; besonders geeignet erscheint eine Modifikation der Kern-Methoden: die Verwendung variabler Kerne. Für jede der Methoden wird auf die Einflüsse einer Diskretisierung der Daten eingegangen.

As alternatives — especially in computer programs — to the classical histogram, we propose some non-parametric density estimation methods; particularly a modification of the kernel methods seems to be appropriate: the utilization of variable kernels. For each of the methods the influence of discretization of the data will be discussed.
