• upperLimit: number
  The upper limit of the largest bin.
• values: numberArray
  A numeric array of the values to be collected in the histogram.
• binCount: number
  The number of bins.

Output

• binCenter: Float64Array
  The center position of each bin.
• binLower: Float64Array
  The lower position of each bin.
• binUpper: Float64Array
  The upper position of each bin.
• binEdge: Float64Array
  The edge positions of the bins.
• counts: Float64Array
  The number of counts of each bin.
• density: Float64Array
  The (normalized) density of each bin.
• insideCount: number
  The number of data points that are within the range (i.e., between lowerLimit and upperLimit).
• outsideCount: number
  The number of data points that are outside the histogram range.
• nonfiniteCount: number
  The number of non-finite data points.
