numeric_to_factor: Convert numeric vectors into factors associated value labels

In strengejacke/sjmisc: Data and Variable Transformation Functions

Convert numeric vectors into factors associated value labels

Description

This function converts numeric variables into factors, and uses associated value labels as factor levels.

Usage

numeric_to_factor(x, n = 4)

Arguments

x	A data frame.
n	Numeric, indicating the maximum amount of unique values in x to be considered as "factor". Variables with more unique values than n are not converted to factor.

Details

If x is a labelled vector, associated value labels will be used as level. Else, the numeric vector is simply coerced using as.factor().

Value

x, with numeric values with a maximum of n unique values being converted to factors.

Examples

library(dplyr)
data(efc)
efc %>%
  select(e42dep, e16sex, c12hour, c160age, c172code) %>%
  numeric_to_factor()
