Lauren,
I think (?) you mean to say that you wish to create a factor and control the
range of values assigned to each level.
The "breaks" argument can specify either the number of intervals you desire
OR the values you wish to use to define levels of your factor. See '?cut'
and the following example:
> #A numeric vector
> x <- 1:10
>
> #Assign equal number of values
> #2 each of 2 automatically
> #determined intervals
> levels1 <- cut(x,breaks=2)
>
> #User-specified intervals
> levels2 <- cut(x,breaks=c(0,3,Inf))
>
> data.frame(x,levels1,levels2)
x levels1 levels2
1 1 (0.991,5.5] (0,3]
2 2 (0.991,5.5] (0,3]
3 3 (0.991,5.5] (0,3]
4 4 (0.991,5.5] (3,Inf]
5 5 (0.991,5.5] (3,Inf]
6 6 (5.5,10] (3,Inf]
7 7 (5.5,10] (3,Inf]
8 8 (5.5,10] (3,Inf]
9 9 (5.5,10] (3,Inf]
10 10 (5.5,10] (3,Inf]
'Inf' is an easy way to create an interval that contains all values larger
than some cutoff.
Good luck with your analysis,
Glen
