Converts numeric values into range categories, either preserving actual ranges or creating anonymized range labels.
Usage
anon_num_range(
x,
n_breaks = 5,
method = c("equal_width", "equal_count"),
clean_breaks = TRUE,
scramble = FALSE,
keep_values = TRUE
)Arguments
- x
A vector to anonymize
- n_breaks
Number of range categories to create (default: 5)
- method
Method for creating breaks: "equal_width" or "equal_count"
- clean_breaks
Logical, whether to use pretty break points
- scramble
Logical, whether to randomize the assignment order of generated results
- keep_values
Logical, whether to keep actual range values or use generic labels
Examples
values <- c(150, 165, 180, 175, 160, 190)
anon_num_range(values, n_breaks = 3)
#> [1] "[150,160)" "[160,170)" "[180,190]" "[170,180)" "[160,170)" "[180,190]"
