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 and upper). 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
)
