Nested 'ifelse'-statement for quantiles

Question

I am attempting to assign a number from 1 through 10 to a series of vectors based on what quantile they\'re in in a dataframe.

So far I have tried

quants

You might be better off using cut rather than a loop:

Data = data.frame(Avg = runif(100))
quantpoints <- seq(0.1, 0.9, 0.1)
quants <- quantile(Data$Avg, quantpoints)

cutpoints <- c(-Inf, quants, Inf)

cut(Data$Avg, breaks = cutpoints, labels = seq(1, length(cutpoints) - 1))
