Dear all,
I have a continuous variable that can take on values between 0 and 100, for
example: x<-runif(100,0,100)
I also have a second variable that defines a series of thresholds, for
example: y<-c(3, 4.5, 6, 8)
I would like to convert my continuous variable into a discrete one using the
threshold variables:
If x is between 0 and 3 the discrete variable should be 1
If x is between 3 and 4.5 the discrete variable should be 2
If x is between 4.5 and 6 the discrete variable should be 3
If x is between 6 and 8 the discrete variable should be 4
If x is larger than 8 the discrete variable should be 5
Is there a straightforward way of doing this (besides working with several
if statements in a row)?
Thanks,
Michael
