Ogive (statistics)

In statistics, an ogive is a free-hand graph showing the curve of a cumulative distribution function.[1] The points plotted are the upper class limit and the corresponding cumulative frequency.[2] (which, for the normal distribution, resembles one side of an Arabesque or ogival arch). The term can also be used to refer to the empirical cumulative distribution function.
