Global recoding
globalRecode(x, breaks, labels)
x |
vector for recoding |
breaks |
either a numeric vector of cut points or number giving the number of intervals which x is to be cut into. |
labels |
labels for the levels of the resulting category. By default, labels are constructed using "(a,b]" interval notation. If labels = FALSE, simple integer codes are returned instead of a factor. |
If a labels parameter is specified, its values are used to name the factor levels. If none is specified, the factor level labels are constructed.
A factor is returned, unless labels = FALSE which results in the mere integer level codes.
data(free1) free1[, "AGE"] <- globalRecode(free1[,"AGE"], breaks=c(1,9,19,29,39,49,59,69,100), labels=1:8)
