I don't want to rename levels or converting from numeric to string. I
want to add each corresponding levels value, a label, as in SPSS.
Level 0 labeled with alive,
level 1 labeled with dead and
level 2 labeled with missed.
This is not possible with a factor, because
factor levels can only be positive integers.
That is just plain (ridiculously) wrong. RTFM.

So, how would you construct a factor with levels
0, 1, 2 and labels alive, dead, and missed, as the original post asked for?
