Discretise numeric data into equal size groups

Description

Arguments

x	numeric vector
n	number of intervals to create
...	Arguments passed on to base::cut.default breaks either a numeric vector of two or more unique cut points or a single number (greater than or equal to 2) giving the number of intervals into which x is to be cut. labels labels for the levels of the resulting category. By default, labels are constructed using "(a,b]" interval notation. If labels = FALSE, simple integer codes are returned instead of a factor. right logical, indicating if the intervals should be closed on the right (and open on the left) or vice versa. dig.lab integer which is used when labels are not given.
