=== Knuth Algorithm ===
Knuth developed the Knuth Algorithm for [[histogram]] binning that is used in [[Wolfram Mathematica]] to calculate the "balance likelihood and prior probability of a piecewise uniform mode"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Histogram—Wolfram Language Documentation |url=https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Histogram.html.en |access-date=2022-07-25 |website=reference.wolfram.com}}</ref>. The algorithm was detailed in Knuth's 2019 paper, published in the journal [[Digital Signal Processing (journal)|Digital Signal Processing]], on optimal data-based binning for histograms and histogram-based probability density models <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Knuth |first=Kevin H. |date=2019-12-01 |title=Optimal data-based binning for histograms and histogram-based probability density models |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1051200419301277 |journal=Digital Signal Processing |language=en |volume=95 |pages=102581 |doi=10.1016/j.dsp.2019.102581 |issn=1051-2004}}</ref>.
