If your factor (badgood) is constructed from the values "Bad" and "Good":
as.numeric(badgood) - 1 will produce a vector of zeros and ones. If you have a numeric vector of zeros and ones and want the corresponding vector of "Bad" and "Good": ifelse(badgood,"Good","Bad") Jim ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
