Slightly different results in pdf data and fit.plot_pdf() function

[Jan Grießer]

Hey there, 

I use powerlaw to fit my data. For display reasons, I first fit my data and then write the bin_edges and hist data using 

bin_edges = fit.pdf(original_data=True)[0]

hist = fit.pdf(original_data=True)[1]

into a file. Now, if I compare the results with the result of 

fit = powerlaw.Fit(observations, discrete=false)

ax = fit.plot_pdf(color="k", linestyle="-", original_data=True, label="observations")

I get additional data points in the lower part of my distribution (see also the comparison of the graphs below, I have already set the 0 entries to nan). Can you tell me why and where in the code these data points are deleted? 

Greetings,

Jan

Okay, I found the problem. In the standard use of Matplolib without markers, only points with neighboring points whose value is not equal to nan are connected. If you use marker=".", these points will be displayed, otherwise they just don't appear in the plot.

Glad you got it sorted! Thanks for using powerlaw.
