Suppose I have some data

>x <- rnorm(1000);
>y <- x*x;

then try to cut it into 2 chunks,

>c <- cut(y, breaks=2);

>summary(y)
 Min.   1st Qu.    Median      Mean   3rd Qu.      Max.
6.879e-06 9.911e-02 3.823e-01 9.499e-01 1.297e+00 8.342e+00

>summary(c)
(-0.00833,4.17]     (4.17,8.35]
            958              42

Is that the correct behavior? Why is the left hand side of the interval
negative?

How would I split a data vector into groups/intervals such that each
interval contained the same number of points?


Thanks much!
Scott
