Global Recoding

Description

Global recoding

Usage

globalRecode(x, breaks, labels)

Arguments

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.

Details

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.

Value

A factor is returned, unless labels = FALSE which results in the mere integer level codes.
