最佳答案
当我将因子转换为数字或整数时,我得到的是底层级别代码,而不是作为数字的值。
f <- factor(sample(runif(5), 20, replace = TRUE))

## 5 Levels: 0.0248644019011408 0.0284090070053935 ... 0.363644931698218
as.numeric(f)
## [1] 1 1 3 2 5 5 3 4 4 1 4 2 3 1 3 5 4 5 3 2
as.integer(f)
## [1] 1 1 3 2 5 5 3 4 4 1 4 2 3 1 3 5 4 5 3 2
我必须求助于paste
才能获得真正的值:
as.numeric(paste(f))
## [1] 0.02486440 0.02486440 0.17968483 0.02840901 0.36364493 0.36364493
## [7] 0.17968483 0.24970435 0.24970435 0.02486440 0.24970435 0.02840901
## [13] 0.17968483 0.02486440 0.17968483 0.36364493 0.24970435 0.36364493
## [19] 0.17968483 0.02840901
有没有更好的方法将因子转换为数字?
