[R] Histogram + % of cases for a given criteria

[S. Nunes]

Hi,

Thanks for the contribution. I tested the code but I got a couple or errors.
I'll try to debug these in the next days.

Maybe there is a simpler approach to what I am trying to do.
I have a bunch of measures and a column with the success of the case (1/0).

I simply want to evaluate my measures and see how each one impacts the
success rate.
My first idea was to have a histogram for each measure superimposed
with the % of success for each bar.

I am open to suggestions on how to address this.

Thanks again,
