Number of groups in new variable
Method for generating "intervals" for fixed-width intervals and "proportions" for cut-points based on quantiles of the distribution.
An optional vector of labels to apply to the groups
Logical indicating whether a value equal to the lowest (if right=TRUE) or highest (if right=FALSE) should be included.
Logical indicating Whether the intervals should be closed on the right and open on the left (if TRUE) or vice versa (if FALSE). Open intervals are those that do not include the end-point of the range and closed intervals do.
