ntile_label {RCT}

ntile_label() ranks observations in n groups, with labels

Description

ntile_label() ranks observations in n groups, with labels

Usage

ntile_label(var, n, digits = 0)

Arguments

var

The variable wished to be ntile_label

n

rank the variable in n groups

digits

How many digits to include in the label

Details

n_tile_label is very similar to ntile from dplyr. But n_tile_label creates the n groups and then labels them. For each group i, the value of the ntile_label is [min(i) - max(i)].

Value

A ordered factor vector of each n group. The value has the form of [min(n_i) - max(n_i)]

Examples

data <- data.frame(y_1 = rbinom(n = 100, size = 1, prob = 0.3), 
                   y_2 = rnorm(n = 100, mean = 8, sd = 2))
data$y_1_2 <- ntile_label(data$y_1, n = 2, digits = 0) 
data$y_2_4 <- ntile_label(data$y_2, n = 4, digits = 1)
