breaks_to_interval: Convert breaks to an interval

Description

breaks_to_interval() takes a specified set of breaks representing the left hand limits of a closed open interval, i.e [x, y), and returns the corresponding interval and upper bounds. The resulting intervals span from the minimum break through to a specified max_upper.

Usage

breaks_to_interval(breaks, max_upper = Inf)

Value

A tibble with an ordered factor column (interval), as well as columns corresponding to the explicit bounds (lower_bound and upper_bound). Note that even those these bounds are whole numbers they are returned as numeric to allow the maximum upper bound to be given as Inf.

Arguments

breaks

[integerish].

1 or more non-negative cut points in increasing (strictly) order.

These correspond to the left hand side of the desired intervals (e.g. the closed side of [x, y).

Double values are coerced to integer prior to categorisation.

max_upper

[numeric]

Represents the maximum upper bound splitting the data.

Defaults to Inf.

Examples

breaks_to_interval(breaks = c(0, 1, 5, 15, 25, 45, 65))
breaks_to_interval(
    breaks = c(0, 1, 5, 15, 25, 45, 65),
    max_upper = 100
)
