cutQuantile: Convert Numeric to Quantile-Split Factor

In rebelrebel04/xplor: Data Exploration Utilities

Description

Convert Numeric to Quantile-Split Factor

Usage

cutQuantile(x, quantiles, labels = paste(1:quantiles), na.rm = FALSE,
  type = 7)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector which is to be converted to a factor by splitting into quantiles.
quantiles	Integer number of quantiles desired (3 = tertiles, 4 = quartiles, etc.).
labels	Character vector of labels for the levels of the resulting category. By default, labels are constructed by converting the quantile integer codes to a character vector. If labels = FALSE, simple integer codes are returned instead of a factor.
na.rm	Logical, if TRUE any NA and NaNs are removed from x before the quantiles are computed.

Value

A factor is returned, unless labels = FALSE which results in an integer vector of level codes.

Examples

table(cutQuantile(1:100, 4))
