Description
Creates a factor vector out of a numerical vector. The levels can be determined by several methods. This function can be called via tableGUI.Usage
num2fac(num, method="pretty", num_scale="auto", n=0, brks=NA)
Arguments
method
"pretty"intervals are determined by the base functionpretty"kmeans"the method intervals are determined by the method kmeans wherenclusters (i.e. interv
num_scale
"auto"used scale is determined automatically"lin"numis directly fed to the method pretty or kmeans"log"a logarithmic transformation ofnumis fed to the method pretty
n
the (desired) number of levels. n=0 means automatic
brks
breaks that determine the levels (only required when method="fixed")
