relab_cut

Function to recode the default labels of a factor created by cut() from base R into more intuitive labels.

Usage

relab_cut(vec, suffix = NULL, right = TRUE, lang = "fr")

Arguments

vec

The vector to be recoded. It should be produced by cut(). Notice that the labels may not include scientific notation. Thus, in cut(), dig.lab argument should be high enough in order to produce labels without scientific notation.

suffix

The suffix to be indicated after the values. Usualy, the unit of the variable will be used (e.g. euros, percents). Default is NULL, for no suffix.

right

TRUE if categories have been created with parameter right = TRUE in cut(). FALSE if categories have been created with parameter right = FALSE in cut(). Default is TRUE.

lang

Language of new labels. Possibilities are "fr" (french), "nl" (dutch) and "en" (english). Default is "fr".

Value

A vector with new labels.

Examples

cut(1:1000, breaks = 5, include.lowest = TRUE, right = FALSE, dig.lab = 4) |>
table()
#> 
#> [0.001,200.8) [200.8,400.6) [400.6,600.4) [600.4,800.2)  [800.2,1001] 
#>           200           200           200           200           200 

cut(1:1000, breaks = 5, include.lowest = TRUE, right = FALSE, dig.lab = 4) |>
relab_cut(suffix = "€", right = FALSE) |>
table()
#> 
#> Moins de 200.8€  200.8 - 400.5€  400.6 - 600.3€  600.4 - 800.1€  Plus de 800.1€ 
#>             200             200             200             200             200
