If the 'data set' is a dataframe, the following will work: x$v1 <- ifelse(x$p > 0.4, 1, 0) x$v2 <- ifelse(x$p > 0.6, 1, 0)
If it is matrix, try x <- cbind(x, v1=ifelse(x[,'p'] > 0.4, 1, 0), v2=ifelse(x[,'p'] > 0.6, 1, 2)) If helps a lot if you follow the posting rules and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
