Divides a vector of length n into slices of approximately equal size. It is used to construct the piecewise bases, and internally used in lad functions.

1	ldr.slices(y, nslices = 3)

`y`	a vector of length `n`.
`nslices`	the number of slices, no larger than `n`.

The number of observations per slice m is computed as the largest integer less or equal to n/nslices. The n observations of y are ordered in the increasing order. The first set of first m observations is allocated to the first slice, the second set is allocated into the second slice, and so on.

Returns a named list with four elements as follows:

`bins`	Slices with their observations
`nslices`	The actual number of slices produced.
`slice.size`	The number of observations in each slice.
`slice.indicator`	Vector of length `n` indicating the slice number of each observed response value.
