Thank you for your response I have a vector of unknown values BZ which is defined already BZ=numeric(N) and i want to transfer BZ to ordered categorical variable with 4 categories W but when i write this code
for(j in 1:1){ if(BZ[j] < 0.25){ W[j] = 1 }else if(BZ[j] >=0.25 & BZ[j] < 0.5){ W[j] = 2 }else if(BZ[j] >=0.5 & BZ[j] < 0.75){ W[j] = 3 }else{ W[j] = 4 }} i found the values of W are only 0, but if i change for(j in 1:N) the values of W will be only 1. how can i solve this problem?
