quant_groups: Split Continuous Variable into Quantile Groups

In dvmisc: Convenience Functions, Moving Window Statistics, and Graphics

Description

Splits a continuous variable into quantiles groups. Basically combines quantile and cut into a single function. Note that create_qgroups will likely supersede this function in future versions of dvmisc.

Usage

quant_groups(x, groups = 4, probs = NULL, quantile.list = NULL,
  cut.list = NULL)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector.
groups	Numeric value specifying number of quantile groups.
probs	Numeric vector specifying probabilities.
quantile.list	Arguments to pass to quantile.
cut.list	Arguments to pass to cut.

Value

Factor variable.

Examples

# Convert values from N(0, 1) into quintiles (i.e. 5 groups)
x <- rnorm(1000)
groups <- quant_groups(x, 5)
table(groups)
