Abstract: This subroutine may be called to generate nth order histo-

grams from stored inter-event intervals. The main advantages are that

only interval measurements need be stored permanently and the order n

can be varied to suit the prevailing situation at histogram generation. The

main use has been to generate histograms to estimate the nth order

probability density functions of the inter-event interval distributions

encountered in unit neuronal activity studies.
