Question

## Changing Weekday into a categorical variable- Beg/End of Week
set.seed(123)
df <- data.frame(Absenteeism$Weekday)
df$category[Absenteeism$Weekday <= 3] <- "Beginning of Week"
df$category[Absenteeism$Weekday >= 4 ] <- "End of Week"
weekdaycat <- cut(Absenteeism$Weekday, breaks=c(0,3,7), labels=c("Beginning of Week","End of Week"))
summary(weekdaycat)
Absenteeism$Weekday <- as.factor(Absenteeism$Weekday)
summary(Absenteeism$Weekday)

R的新手，我设法将工作日数据归为一类，但现在我需要将其以week = 0的开头和week = 1的结尾进行二进制化。

有人可以帮我吗？谢谢。

Answer 1

也许这就是您想要的：

# Made up weekdays as an example   
Absenteeism <- data.frame(Weekday = (1:10)%%7+1)

# Create a new column with the explicit name
Absenteeism$categoryName = ifelse( Absenteeism$Weekday <= 3, "Beginning of Week", "End of Week")

# Create a new factors column with levels 0 and 1
Absenteeism$category = factor(ifelse( Absenteeism$Weekday <= 3, 0, 1))

结果：

> Absenteeism
   Weekday      categoryName category
1        2 Beginning of Week        0
2        3 Beginning of Week        0
3        4       End of Week        1
4        5       End of Week        1
5        6       End of Week        1
6        7       End of Week        1
7        1 Beginning of Week        0
8        2 Beginning of Week        0
9        3 Beginning of Week        0
10       4       End of Week        1

> summary(Absenteeism)
    Weekday     categoryName       category
 Min.   :1.00   Length:10          0:5     
 1st Qu.:2.25   Class :character   1:5     
 Median :3.50   Mode  :character           
 Mean   :3.70                              
 3rd Qu.:4.75                              
 Max.   :7.00

将工作日转换为二元因子0或1
