Description

Usage

binnedCounts(
  x,
  breaks = "Sturges",
  round.percents = 2,
  name = deparse(substitute(x))
)

Value

For a numeric vector, invisibly returns the vector of counts, named with the end-points of the corresponding bins. For a matrix or data frame, invisibly returns NULL

Arguments

x

a numeric vector, matrix, or data frame.

Details

Bins a numeric variable, as for a histogram, and reports the count and percentage in each bin. The computations are done by the hist function, but no histogram is drawn. If supplied a numeric matrix or data frame, the distribution of each column is printed.
