Re: [R] changing a range of values
If we know they are integer values only then this returns the desired vector replace(x, x %in% 1:3, 1) or this overwrites the input: x[x %in% 1:3] <- 1 On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 12:03 PM, Jörg Groß wrote: > Hi, > > > If I have following vector; > > > x <- c(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5) > > and I want to change values in the range of 1 to 3 into the value 1, how can > I do that? > > > I tried > > > x[x == c(1:3)] <- c(1) > > > but than I get; > > x > [1] 1 1 1 2 1 1 4 4 5 > > > > R doesn't change the 2 into a 1. > But why? > > __ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Re: [R] changing a range of values
try this: x <- c(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,3.2,0.5) x[x >= 1 & x <= 3] <- 1 x I hope it helps.
