Note
Definition

Levels in a factor represent the set of distinct categories that the factor can take.

Viewing Levels

The levels() function shows all unique values stored in a factor.

Example

12345
curr_f <- factor(c('USD', 'EUR', 'AUD', 'NOK', 'CHF', 'EUR', 'AUD', 'EUR')) # Display all levels levels(curr_f)
copy

Ordered Factors

In some cases, categories have a natural order (e.g., "short" < "medium" < "tall"). Factors can be declared as ordered by setting ordered = TRUE.

Example

12345
sizes <- c('short', 'tall', 'medium', 'medium', 'short', 'tall') # Ordered factor (alphabetical order) factor(sizes, ordered = TRUE)
copy

Custom Ordering

By default, R orders levels in alphabetical order, which may not always match the intended hierarchy. You can define a specific order by passing a vector of levels in the desired sequence.

Example

123456
sizes <- c('short', 'tall', 'medium', 'medium', 'short', 'tall') order <- c('short', 'medium', 'tall') # Ordered factor (correct order) factor(sizes, ordered = TRUE, levels = order)
copy

This ensures the order matches your intended meaning.

Opgave

Stryg for at begynde at kode

You have a vector of grades ranging from 'A' to 'F'. You're tasked with converting this into an ordered factor with the sequence 'F < D < C < B < A':

  1. Convert the grades vector to a factor, capturing the required order, and store it in the grades_f variable.
  2. Display the entire grades_f variable.
