check at cut() and split(), e.g., x <- rnorm(100) qx <- quantile(x) ind <- cut(x, qx, include.lowest = TRUE) split(x, ind)

Hello, I was just wondering whether there is a quick way to divide a vector of data into four groups defined by the quantiles? i.e. 0-25% 25-50% 50-75% 75-100% Many thanks Dan
