Chop into fixed-width intervals

chop_width() chops x into intervals of fixed width.

Usage

chop_width(x, width, start, ..., left = sign(width) > 0)

brk_width(width, start)

# Default S3 method
brk_width(width, start)

tab_width(x, width, start, ..., left = sign(width) > 0)

Arguments

x

A vector.

width

Width of intervals.

start

Starting point for intervals. By default the smallest finite x (largest if width is negative).

...

Passed to chop().

left

Logical. Left-closed or right-closed breaks?

Value

chop_* functions return a factor of the same length as x.

brk_* functions return a function to create breaks.

tab_* functions return a contingency table().

Details

If width is negative, chop_width() sets left = FALSE and intervals will go downwards from start.
