Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also

gpa_discretize optimizes base R function cut specifically for values in *GPA fields, e.g. GRAD_GPA, by streamlining binning into tenths, quarters, thirds, and halves, as well as cleaning bin labels.

1	gpa_discretize(gpa, range = "thirds", right = FALSE)

`gpa`	A scalar or vector of length n and class numeric containing one or more GPA values.
`range`	A single string, in quotations, indicating the range of cut points. Possible values include `"tenths"`, `"quarters"`, `"thirds"`, and `"halves"`. Defaults to `range = "thirds"`.
`right`	A logical value indicating if ranges should be closed on the right and open on the left (`TRUE`). Defaults to `right = TRUE`.

Values passed to argument gpa = which exceed 4.33 are coerced to NA (missing) values and a warning message is thrown.

A scalar or vector of clean character strings, according to the parameter passed to argument range =, comprised of the lower and upper bounds in which the value passed to gpa = falls. Missing values are preserved.
