Hi R users, My goal is to rank my samples according to how they fall out in a histogram with 10 bins to produce a ranking for each sample according to where it falls on the histogram, with a "1" to represent one tail of the hist, a "10" to represent the other tail, and a "5" for the median/mean. I have a number of different data sets to do this with and in all cases I need this ranking between1-10 regardless of the number of samples in each set.
e.g., x=rnorm(50) h=hist(x,breaks=10) h$breaks [1] -2.0 -1.5 -1.0 -0.5 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 So, I want to add a factor to x where if x is less than -2.0, then new factor="1"; if x is greater than -2.0 but x is less than -1.5, then new factor="2", etc. rank doesn't seem to help Any tips? Thanks much. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
