\title{Density function of a histogram distribution}
\description{
Computes the density of a probability distribution defined on a set
of equal-width intervals
}
\usage{
histprior(p,midpts,prob)
}
\arguments{
  \item{p}{vector of values for which density is to be computed}
  \item{midpts}{vector of midpoints of the intervals}
  \item{prob}{vector of probabilities of the intervals}
}

\value{
vector of values of the probability density
}
