split_vector_into_e​qual_sized_bins( input_vect , N_per_bin )

given a vector, split into equal sized bins w/N_per_bin elements in each bin

bins_idx = split_vector_into_equal_sized_bins( input_vect , N_per_bin )
given a vector
split into equal sized bins w/ N_per_bin elements in each bin
returns the bin of each element

the diff w/discretize() is that discretize() makes bins of even width
(range) while split_vector_into_equal_sized_bins() makes bins of equal #
of elements

to see the difference:
X = random('normal',10,1,1e4,1);
discIDX = discretize( X , 100 );
binsIDX = split_vector_into_equal_sized_bins( X , numel(X)/100 ) ;
figure ; hold on;
boxplot(X,binsIDX,'Color','r')
boxplot(X,discIDX,'Color','b')
