[R] cut data into sevral group and assign calculated values individually

Hi All,

I have some data from which I set four points to be breaks. Based on these
points,  I cut the dataset into four groups and assign a number to it:

<=331.04 assign 0>331.04 <=476.07 assign data-331.04/(476.07-331.04)
>476.07<=608.66  assign 1
>608.66 <=791.5 assign 791.5- data/(791.5-608.66)
> 791.5 and NA assign 0

Breaks                  331.04      476.07      608.66       791.5              
NA
m_group        0                 x                 1                 x          
0                    0


I can use cut() to group the data according to the breaks but having difficulty
to assign the two calculated interval values.

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Yan

Based on the levels of the factor resulted by cut(), you can calculate a 
new vector easily. But since you have not specified a reproducible 
example, I cannot quickly change it in order to show how it works.

[R] cut data into sevral group and assign calculated values individually

Thanks for your reply.

Let me make an example then:

m<- c(150, 400, 500,750,800, NA)

How can I use cut to generate the m_group as c(0,0.4755,1, 0.2275,0,0):

Breaks                  331.04      476.07      608.66       791.5              
NA
m_group        0                 x          1           x               0       
0

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Yan

[R] cut data into sevral group and assign calculated values individually

Hm

Not much of an example.

You can cut your m according to breaks

cc <- cut(m, c(0,331,476, 608, 791, 900))
[1] (0,331]   (331,476] (476,608] (608,791] (791,900] <NA> 
Levels: (0,331] (331,476] (476,608] (608,791] (791,900]

You can add NA as an extra level by

factor(cc, exclude=NULL)
[1] (0,331]   (331,476] (476,608] (608,791] (791,900] <NA> 
Levels: (0,331] (331,476] (476,608] (608,791] (791,900] <NA>

but I wonder what you want to do with m_group then.

You shall explain in more detail what you want to do to get sensible 
answer.
