cut是等距，qcut是等频

qcut方法，参考链接：http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.qcut.html

　　1).参数：pandas.qcut(x, q, labels=None, retbins=False, precision=3, duplicates=‘raise‘)

　　　　>>>x 要进行分组的数据，数据类型为一维数组，或Series对象

　　　　>>>q 组数，即要将数据分成几组，后边举例说明

　　　　>>>labels 可以理解为组标签，这里注意标签个数要和组数相等

　　　　>>>retbins 默认为False,当为False时，返回值是Categorical类型（具有value_counts()方法），为True是返回值是元组
