hist function to give each cell equal area
...n-equi-spaced breaks, picked such that the
fraction of the data points falling in the cells (defined by 'breaks') is
roughly equal accross all cells.
Is there such a function that will automatically try to determine the
breaks to fullfill this requirement?
Something like..
hist( x, br = magic_function_to_pick_breaks())
For example, if x looked like this...
x <- c( 1:5, 10+1:5, 100+1:5 )
the breaks would define cells like this
hist(x,breaks=c(0,5,15,105))
Is there such a function?
