Recode a latent variable into a Likert response variable

Usage

draw_likert(
  x,
  min = NULL,
  max = NULL,
  bins = NULL,
  breaks = NULL,
  labels = NULL
)

Arguments

x: a numeric variable considered to be "latent"
min: the minimum value of the latent variable
max: the maximum value of the latent variable
bins: the number of Likert scale values. The latent variable will be cut into equally sized bins as in seq(min, max, length.out = bins + 1)
breaks: A vector of breaks. This option is useful for settings in which equally-sized breaks are inappropriate
labels: An optional vector of labels. If labels are provided, the resulting output will be a factor.

Examples


x <- 1:100

draw_likert(x, min = 0, max = 100, bins = 7)
#>   [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

draw_likert(x, breaks = c(-1, 10, 100))
