mutate, create categories

To create categories using the mutate function in R, you can follow these steps:

  1. Use the mutate function to create a new column in the dataset, assigning it the categories based on specific conditions or criteria.

  2. Use the case_when function within mutate to assign category values based on logical conditions. For example, you can use case_when to assign "High" to values greater than a certain threshold and "Low" to values below that threshold.

  3. Utilize factors to convert the newly created column into a categorical variable. Factors allow for the representation of categorical data in R, enabling easier analysis and visualization.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the mutate function in R to create categories within your dataset based on specified conditions, and then convert them into factors for further analysis.
