binbyvol

Bins a numerical column according to another numerical column's volume.
For example if I want to bin a column "Age" (of people) into 10 deciles according to "CountofPeople" then I will get Age breakpoints returned by my function such that there is 10
This function handles NA's as their own separate bin, and handles any special values you want to separate out.
