Currently I can see that it is done with _freedman_diaconis_bins function, but I would like to add something based on bayesian blocks conception: http://www.astroml.org/user_guide/density_estimation.html#bayesian-blocks-histograms-the-right-way\r\n\r\nI can see that _freedman_diaconis_bins returns the number of bins, while bayesian_blocks function returns bin edges. I'm not sure how are the histograms constructed later in the seaborn, will it be complicated to implement this way of estimating bin edges?"}}
