draw_likert: Recode a latent variable into a Likert response variable

Description

Recode a latent variable into a Likert response variable

Usage

draw_likert(
  x,
  min = NULL,
  max = NULL,
  bins = NULL,
  breaks = NULL,
  labels = NULL
)

Arguments

x

a numeric variable considered to be "latent"

min

the minimum value of the latent variable

max

the maximum value of the latent variable

bins

the number of Likert scale values. The latent variable will be cut into equally sized bins as in seq(min, max, length.out = bins + 1)

breaks

A vector of breaks. This option is useful for settings in which equally-sized breaks are inappropriate

labels

An optional vector of labels. If labels are provided, the resulting output will be a factor.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
x <- 1:100

draw_likert(x, min = 0, max = 100, bins = 7)
draw_likert(x, breaks = c(-1, 10, 100))


# }
