How to convert factor levels to list, in R


Imagine a data frame such as df1 below:

df1 <- data.frame(v1 = as.factor(c("m0p1", "m5p30", "m11p20", "m59p60", "m59p60")))

How do I create a list of all the levels of a variable? Thank you.


Solution

  • To print the levels in the variable, use levels() as @scoa says:

    levels(df1$v1)
    

    To make it an explicit list use as.list() as well:

    l <- as.list(levels(df1$v1))
    l
