_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This method splits data according to results of the clustering
     (filtering) operation.  Outliers identified will be removed by
     default.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A list object with elements each of which is a subset of 'x' and
     also retains the same class as 'x'.  If the 'split' argument is
     specified with a list of named elements, those names will be used
     to name the corresponding elements in the resultant list object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     split(x, f, drop=FALSE, population=NULL, split=NULL,
     rm.outliers=TRUE, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

_x A numeric vector, matrix, data frame of observations, or object of
     class 'flowFrame'.  This is the object on which 'flowClust' or
     'filter' was performed.

_f Object returned from 'flowClust' or 'filter'.

_d_r_o_p A logical value indicating whether to coerce a column matrix into
     a vector, if applicable.  Default is 'FALSE', meaning that a
     single-column matrix will be retained.

_p_o_p_u_l_a_t_i_o_n An optional argument which specifies how to split the data. 
     If specified, it takes a list object with named or unnamed
     elements each of which is a numeric vector specifying which
     clusters are included.  If this argument is left unspecified, the
     data object will be split into 'K' subsets each of which is formed
     by one out of the 'K' clusters used to model the data.  See
     examples for more details.

_s_p_l_i_t This argument is deprecated.  Should use 'population' instead.

_r_m._o_u_t_l_i_e_r_s A logical value indicating whether outliers are removed or
     not.

... Further arguments to be passed to or from other methods.
