Convert breaks to an interval
Description
breaks_to_interval()
takes a specified set of breaks representing the left
hand limits of a closed open interval, i.e [x, y), and returns the
corresponding interval and upper bounds. The resulting intervals span from
the minimum break through to a specified max_upper
.
Usage
breaks_to_interval(breaks, max_upper = Inf)
Arguments
breaks |
1 or more non-negative cut points in increasing (strictly) order. These correspond to the left hand side of the desired intervals (e.g. the closed side of [x, y). Double values are coerced to integer prior to categorisation. |
max_upper |
Represents the maximum upper bound splitting the data. Defaults to |
Value
A tibble with an ordered factor column (interval
),
as well as columns corresponding to the explicit bounds (lower_bound
and
upper_bound
). Note that even those these bounds are whole numbers they are
returned as numeric
to allow the maximum upper bound to be given as Inf
.
Examples
breaks_to_interval(breaks = c(0L, 1L, 5L, 15L, 25L, 45L, 65L))
breaks_to_interval(
breaks = c(0L, 1L, 5L, 15L, 25L, 45L, 65L),
max_upper = 100L
