Compared to base R, when x
is a character, this function creates
levels in the order in which they appear, which will be the same on every
platform. (Base R sorts in the current locale which can vary from place
to place.) When x
is numeric, the ordering is based on the numeric
value and consistent with base R.
as_factor(x, ...) # S3 method for factor as_factor(x, ...) # S3 method for character as_factor(x, ...) # S3 method for numeric as_factor(x, ...) # S3 method for logical as_factor(x, ...)
x | Object to coerce to a factor. |
---|---|
... | Other arguments passed down to method. |
This is a generic function.
