Hi,
I know how to convert a factor-variable into a numeric variable via
as.numeric().
But how can I control the values that are assigned?
For example, I have this factor-variable:
z <- c("male", "male", "female")
z <- as.factor(z)
And I want to convert male in 3 and female into the numeric value 5
(just for the example)
so that I get:
[1] 3 3 5
Thanks for any help!
