discret: Discretizes a continuos variable

In amvallone/spDym:

Description

Discretizes a variable in n states.

Usage

discret(x, classes=5, type = 7,...)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector
classes	a integer inidcating the numbers of classe for the discretization or a vector indicating the numbers of cut in the x for the discretization. See Details for more information.
type	an integer between 1 and 9 selecting one of the nine quantile algorithms to be used. See quantile for more information.
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

classes argument may be express as an integer indication the numebr of classes for the discretization, the cuts are calculated using cut function setting the breaks arguments to get the specific number of classes. Also is posibble set the cuts inturcing a sequnce of number in [0,1] or by a vector containing specific values of x to generate the cut.

Value

A numeric vector of n classes defined in classes
