Split a numeric variable into a number of bins and return a vector of bin numbers
xtile(x, n = 5, rev = FALSE, type = 7)
x | Numeric variable |
---|---|
n | number of bins to create |
rev | Reverse the order of the bin numbers |
type | An integer between 1 and 9 to select one of the quantile algorithms described in the help for the stats::quantile function |
See quantile for a description of the different algorithm types
