pain_class {pawscore}

Identify pain class based on pain score

Description

Convenience function to convert pain scores to binary or trinary pain classifications, e.g. pain / non-pain or pain / low-pain / high-pain. Note that trinary classifications are only valid for pain models fit with trinary classes (e.g. Jones et al. 2020). Otherwise the scale of the score is arbitrary, and the boundary between low and high pain is not scaled to be 1.
