Hi, I have a dataset with 6 categorical variables. I have used this following code to make the variables u1-u6 ordered factors and this works well.
cat1cat2 cat3 cat4 cat5 cat6 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ....... .... ############ data<-read,table("example.txt") data <- as.data.frame(lapply(data, ordered)) ############ Now, suppose I have bigger dataset where some variables are categorical (cat) and others are continuous (cont).. cat1 cat2 cont1 cont2 ...cont10 cat3 cont11....cat 40 cont25 etc. Is there a way to code so that R goes through each variable and orders a variable if it is categorical and leaves a variable alone if it is continuous?
