Hi guys,
Cant seem to find a solution for this. I am looking for a substitute for
cut that can transform character vectors. So as cut would be used below to
transform YearCat-> YearCat2 base on Year and vector
Ag<-c("00-'70","'71-'75","'76-'85","'86-'09") using 'cut '
FleetData$YearCat<-cut(FleetData$Year,c(0,1970,1975,1985,2009),labels=Ag)
Make Year YearCat YearCat2
1 DODG 2003 '86-'09 (2002,2003]
3 FORD 1995 '86-'09 (1994,1995]
5 JEP 1997 '86-'09 (1996,1997]
6 JEP 1997 '86-'09 (1996,1997]
7 DODG 2002 '86-'09 (2001,2002]
8 BMW 1997 '86-'09 (1996,1997]
11 TOYT 2006 '86-'09 (2005,2006]
12 CHEV 1997 '86-'09 (1996,1997]
13 CHEV 1992 '86-'09 (1991,1992]
14 CHEV 1996 '86-'09 (1995,1996]
I need to do the same for a fueltype where each record has a character
representing the data instead of a numeral(as in year). No reproducible
code or data because i think this is pretty straight forward. I could do
this using a series of loops but i think there is prob a more elegant way.
Use of grep? Thanks for the help
JR
