Here we are explaining how to write an R program to create a factor corresponding to the height of women data set. Here we are using built-in function cut() for this creation. The function cut() divides the range of x into intervals. It codes the values in x according to which intervals. The syntax of these functions are
cut(x, …) #Where x is an R object,like matrix, array or data frame
Below are the steps used in the R program to create a factor corresponding to the height of the women data set, we directly give the values to built-in functions. And print the function result. Here we use the variable D for assigning women data variable H for assigning calculated factor value using cut() method. Print the resulting factor.
STEP 1: Assign variable D with given data
STEP 2: First print original data
STEP 3:Call the built-in function cut as cut(women$height,3)
STEP 4: Assign variable H with the function result
STEP 5: Print the result factor
D= women
print("Women data set of height and weights:")
print(D)
H = cut(women$height,3)
print("Factor corresponding to height:")
print(table(H))
