I second it! Made me lol :)

I nominate this for a fortune.

There would be several people who could help if you gave us a minimal,
reproducible example like the posting guide asks for.
If you have a vector of continuous data, and need to create a
categorical variable (in R, a factor)
It's very simple to write a "binit()" function. If all you want to do
is e.g., bin 107 values into sums of 10 at a time, then write a loop
that sums x[10*i:11*i-1] (not tested and not syntactically correct).
The one I wrote for myself discards any partial bin (101-107 in my
example) and leav

Hello everyone,
I have a data set, and I need to bin my data using a bin width of say g(n).
Would anyone be willing to tell me how to do this in R?
Thanks
