[R] Deciles and R

[Nuno Soares]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new R user (if this is a really basic question, please do excuse
me...) and I'm having some questions regarding a deciles problem.

I have a variable which I need to categorize according to its deciles (X).
However, this categorization should be made into another variable (call it
NewVar).

Ex. for the quartiles case (just for the sake of exposition, since I need
deciles...), I would like to be able to generate the NewVar variable based
on the quantiles of X:

	X		NewVar
	1		1
	6		2
	2		1
	4		2
	3		1
	5		2
	12		4
	9		3
	8		3
	10		4
	11		4
	7		3

Is there a function or a way of doing this automatically? I've searched the
help files but found no solution to this problem...

Regards,

Nuno
