Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Categorize continuous variables

filter_categorize(
  sam_table,
  sample_condition,
  new_label,
  nbins = NULL,
  bin_breaks = c(),
  bin_labels = c()
)

`sam_table`	A sample x condition dataframe
`sample_condition`	Continuous variable to categorize
`new_label`	Column name for categorized variable
`nbins`	Auto select ranges for n bins/categories
`bin_breaks`	Manually select ranges for bins/categories
`bin_labels`	Manually label bins/categories

A list with an updated sample table and before/after plots
