classifyByQuantiles: Group numerical vector (enhanced cut())

In rrMisc: Little Helpers

Description

Group numerical vector and allow for group with zero values as well as formating

Usage

classifyByQuantiles(x, n.main = 10, n.supp = 4, i.class.zero = FALSE,
  format.level = FALSE, ordered.factor = FALSE)

Arguments

x	numieric vector
n.main	number of main groups
n.supp	number of supplement groups - total size of which equals sizt of one main group
i.class.zero	indicator for a separate group vor zero values
format.level	indicator for levels to be formatted
ordered.factor	to be given to cut()

Details

utility function for better grouping numerical valures

Value

grouped factor vector

                          i.class.zero = i.class.zero,
                          format.level = format.level)
