Rescale Vector R

Question

Suppose I have a vector of integers such as:

> x
[1]  1  1  1  4  4 13 13 14

I am looking for an efficient way in R to rescale the vecto

Answer 1

Try the following command, assuming that v is your vector

rank( v )

see ?rank for more information.

Well, this does give another result, but is correct as ranking, which is what I thought you want to achieve. To get your preferred result, do

as.integer( factor( v ) )
