Description

While reviewing a recent Review Board for metrics.py I noticed we have several raw_input() functions within the calcPdf function.

nbins = int (raw_input('Please enter the number of bins to use. \n'))
minEdge = float(raw_input('Please enter the minimum value to use for the edge. \n'))
maxEdge = float(raw_input('Please enter the maximum value to use for the edge. \n'))

These parameters should instead be passed into the function by the caller. This will make the code easier to call from an external script or the GUI.

This should be started once CLIMATE-88 is resolved.
