Hello,

Try the following.

x <- rnorm(500)^2
split(x, cut(x, quantile(x, probs = seq(0, 1, by = 0.2))))


Hope this helps,

Hi,

I would like to cut a vector of values in parts.
Each part should have an equal number of elements.

for example:

x <- (rnorm(500)^2)

now I want 5 vectors each with 100 elements.
The first vector should include the 100 lowest values of x and so on
(so that the fifth vector contains the 100 highest values of x).


thanks for any help!
