qcut(x, q = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), ...)

Arguments

x	Numeric
q	Probabilities. Should be 1 less than the number of discrete bins to be returned. x is cut from left-to-right, filling up the smallest bin first. For example, c(.25, .50, .75) returns a factor of 4 levels - 0%-25%, 25%-50%, 50%-75%, 75%-100%. Bins are left-inclusive and right-exclusive.
...	Passed to stats::quantile

Examples
