cut data into sevral group and assign calculated values individually

Thanks for your reply.

Let me make an example then:

m<- c(150, 400, 500,750,800, NA)

How can I use cut to generate the m_group as c(0,0.4755,1, 0.2275,0,0):

Breaks                  331.04      476.07      608.66       791.5    NA
m_group        0                 x          1           x 0         0

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Yan

Hi All,

I have some data from which I set four points to be breaks. Based on 

these points,  I cut the dataset into four groups and assign a number to 

<=331.04 assign 0

331.04<=476.07 assign data-331.04/(476.07-331.04)
476.07<=608.66  assign 1
608.66<=791.5 assign 791.5- data/(791.5-608.66)
791.5 and NA assign 0

Breaks                  331.04      476.07      608.66       791.5    

m_group        0                 x                 1                 x 

0                    0

I can use cut() to group the data according to the breaks but having 

difficulty to assign the two calculated interval values.

Based on the levels of the factor resulted by cut(), you can calculate a 

new vector easily. But since you have not specified a reproducible 
example, I cannot quickly change it in order to show how it works.

Best,

Thank you very much!
