Categorize entries in a numeric vector according to a list of breakpoints and labels.

Vectorized version of base::cut() that allows each entry in the vector to use different break points and labels.

Usage

categorize_vector(
  values,
  break_sets,
  label_sets,
  include.lowest = TRUE,
  order = TRUE,
  right = TRUE,
  ...
)

values: Vector of values to categorize.
break_sets: sets of category breakpoints, with one set for each entry of values, as a list of numeric vectors. Alternatively, a single set of category breakpoints to use for all values, as a one-entry list containing a single numeric vector.
label_sets: sets of labels to associate, with the corresponding breakpoints in break_sets, with one set for each entry of values, as a list of character vectors. Alternatively, a single set of labels to use for all values, as a one-entry list containing a single character vector.
include.lowest: Passed to base::cut(). Default TRUE.
order: Should the output factors be ordered factors? Passed to base::cut(). Default TRUE.
right: Passed to base::cut(). Default TRUE.
...: Additional keyword arguments passed to base::cut().

A categorized vector, as vector of factors (default ordered factors).
