## Bin a vector

### Description

Bin a vector based on intervals or groups.

### Usage

    binvec(x, u, v, method = "sum")

### Arguments

`x` | A numeric vector.
`u, v` | The (inclusive) lower and upper indices of the bins, or a factor providing the groupings.
`method` | The method used to bin the values. This is efficiently implemented for "sum", "mean", "min" or "max". Providing a function will use a less-efficient fallback.

### Value

An vector of the summarized (binned) values.

    set.seed(1)

    x <- runif(20)

    binvec(x, c(1,6,11,16), c(5,10,15,20), method="mean")

    binvec(x, seq(from=1, to=21, by=5), method="mean")

    g <- rep(c("a","b","c","d"), each=5)

    binvec(x, g, method="mean")
