Acknowledgements

The following function was referenced on Stacks Overflow on a number of occasions, in reference to obtaining nicer cuts, improving function performance and reducing small groups. The linked discussion provide a more comprehensive solutions than the function offered in this package.

Examples

set.seed(123)
pretty_cuts(cut(x = runif(n = 1e3, min = 1, 1e4), breaks = 5))
