cut_quantile: Cut by quantile

In phytomosaic/ecole: ecole: School of Ecology Package

Description

Cut a vector into roughly equal-sized groups, based on quantile breaks.

Usage

cut_quantile(x, n = 7, ordered = FALSE, labels = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	vector of numeric values to cut.
n	number of groups desired.
ordered	logical: should the result be an ordered factor?
labels	if 'labels = FALSE', simple integer codes are returned instead of a factor; see cut.
...	additional arguments passed to cut.

Details

Useful to create balanced groups of _roughly_ equal size.

Value

A factor is returned, unless 'labels = FALSE' which results in an integer vector of level codes.

Examples

set.seed(44)
x <- rnorm(99)   # vector of numeric values
(y <- cut_quantile(x, n = 3))
(z <- cut_quantile(x, n = 3, labels = FALSE))
