Hi All,
I want to create a categorical variable, cat.pfoa, in the file of pfas.pheno (a
data frame) based on log2pfoa values. I can do it using the following code.
pfas.pheno <-within(pfas.pheno, {cat.pfoa<-NA
cat.pfoa[pfas.pheno$log2pfoa <=quantile(pfas.pheno$log2pfoa,0.25, na.rm
=T)]<-0
cat.pfoa[pfas.pheno$log2pfoa >=quantile(pfas.pheno$log2pfoa,0.75, na.rm
=T)]<-2
cat.pfoa[pfas.pheno$log2pfoa >=quantile(pfas.pheno$log2pfoa,0.25, na.rm =T)
&pfas.pheno$log2pfoa <=quantile(pfas.pheno$log2pfoa,0.75, na.rm
=T)]<-1
}
However, I have additional 7 similar variables, so I wrote the following code,
but it does not work.
for (i in c("log2pfoa","log2pfos", "log2pfna", "log2pfdea", "log2pfuda",
"log2pfhxs", "log2et_pfosa_acoh", "log2me_pfosa_acoh")) {
cat.var <- paste0("cat.",i)
pfas.pheno <- within(pfas.pheno, {eval(parse(text= cat.var))<-NA
eval(parse(text=cat.var))[pfas.pheno[,i] <= quantile(pfas.pheno[,i],0.25, na.rm
=T)] <- 0
eval(parse(text=cat.var))[pfas.pheno[,i] >= quantile(pfas.pheno[,i],0.75, na.rm
=T)] <- 2
eval(parse(text=cat.var))[pfas.pheno[,i] >= quantile(pfas.pheno[,i],0.25, na.rm
=T)
&pfas.pheno[,i] <=
quantile(pfas.pheno[,i],0.75, na.rm =T)] < -1
})
}
Can you help me fix the problem?
Thank you,
