In sjoerdvds/crtests: Classification and Regression Tests

Description

Group infrequent levels in data, either a factor or a data.frame

Group infrequent factor levels in a data.frame

Group infrequent factor levels in a list of data.frames

Usage

group_levels(data, maximum_levels = 32)

## S3 method for class 'factor'
group_levels(data, maximum_levels = 32)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
group_levels(data, maximum_levels = 32)

## S3 method for class 'list'
group_levels(data, maximum_levels = 32)

Arguments

data	A data.frame or factor. In the first case, group_levels is applied to each factor in the data.frame.
maximum_levels	Numeric. The maximum number of levels allowed per factor

Value

A factor with at most maximum_levels, or a data.frame where each factor matches that requirement

Methods (by class)

• factor: Group infrequent levels in a factor. Takes a factor, and if that factor has more than 'maximum_levels', it makes a table of level frequencies. The top (maximum_levels-1) are left unchanged, all less frequent levels are grouped into the level "other".

• data.frame: Takes a data.frame, and applies group_levels.factor to each column

• list: Takes a list of data.frames and applies group_levels.data.frame to each
