Function to Identify in Which Interval a Value Falls
Description
Function to identify in which interval of a set of cut points, cuts, a value x falls within or beyond. The number of intervals is equal to the number of cut points plus 1. Values of x have to exceed the value of the cut point to be allocated to the higher interval.
Usage
cutter(x, cuts)
Arguments
x |
name of the vector to be processed. |
cuts |
the vector of cut points. |
Value
xi |
a vector of the same length as x containing an integer between 1 and the number of cut points plus 1 indicating in which interval each value of x fell. Values < cut[1] have xi set to 1, and values > cut[highest] have xi set to the number of cut points plus 1. |
