hi,

i want to use the function table to build a table not of frequence (number of time the vareable is repeated in a list or a data frame!!) but in function of classes
I don t find a clear explnation in  examples of  ?table !!!

example

x      y        z
1    0       100
5    1       1500
6    1       1200
2    2       500
1    1       3500
5     2     2000
8     5     4500

i want to do a table summerizing the number of variable where z is in [0-1000],],[1000-3000], [> 3000]

thank you very much for your help


See ?cut, which bins a continuous variable.

> DF
  x y    z
1 1 0  100
2 5 1 1500
3 6 1 1200
4 2 2  500
5 1 1 3500
6 5 2 2000
7 8 5 4500


> table(cut(DF$z, breaks = c(-Inf, 1000, 3000, Inf),
            labels = c("0 - 1000", ">1000 - 3000", ">3000")))

    0 - 1000 >1000 - 3000        >3000
           2            3            2
