Description

Convert any vector into a factor.

Usage

factorize(column, levels, labels, ordered = F)

Arguments

column	A vector to convert into a factor.
levels	A vector of levels to accept (optional). In the case of a labelled object, this input is completely ignored since levels come from the value labels defined in the labelled object.
labels	A vector of labels for the levels (optional). Similarly ignored in the case of a labelled object.
ordered	A boolean indicating whether factor is ordered (optional). If levels are specified, it uses the given ordering. If not, uses the order it encounters values in the vector.

Value

A native R factor, either unordered or ordered.
