I have a dataframe in which I have values 0-255, I wish to transpose them such that:

if value  > 127.5 value = 1
if value < 127.5 value = -1


c(-1, 1)[ 1+(value > 127.5) ]

I suspect most will find this less intuitive than `ifelse`, but I find it useful when picking colors or other values from a vector, expecially when the argument is built with findInterval, e.g.

c(-1, 1)[ findInterval(value, c(0, 127.5, 255) ) ] Which generalizes much more compactly to multiple intervals than does ifelse.


I did something similar using the "binarize" function of the biclust package, this transforms my dataframe to 0 and 1 values, but I wish
to use -1 and 1 and looking for a way in R to do this.
