Hi,

I'm not sure if this can be done but..

I know that with ifelse() I can do something like:
  ifelse(x <= 3, 1, 2)
to go through each element in my vector x, and if x_i <= 3 substitute the 
number with 1 else with 2.  Essentially I'll get a vector with 2 levels.

Can I tweak it so I can get 3-levels?  For example:
  if(x <= 3) then 1
  elseif(3 < x <= 4) then 2
  elseif(x > 4) then 3

Cheers,

Kevin
