#' Package \code{binr} (pronounced as "binner") provides algorithms for cutting 
#' numerical values exhibiting a potentially highly skewed distribution into 
#' evenly distributed groups (bins). This functionality can be applied for 
#' binning discrete values, such as counts, as well as for discretization of 
#' continuous values, for example, during generation of features used in machine 
#' learning algorithms.
