Transform quantiles output into a table

March 3, 2023

I have this code

tapply(index_articles_migpunts$index_articles_ponderats2_migpunts, index_articles_migpunts$Tramspoblacio, quantile, probs=seq(.1,.9, by =.1))

which gives this output:

$`1 - 999`
       10%        20%        30%        40%        50%        60%        70%        80%

How can I transform this console output into a data.frame or a table retaining the distinct categories names?

Thank you very much!

>Solution :

something along the lines of the below should do the job. Your result is a named list, so bind the entries into rows in a data.frame using rbind and do.call (or use bind_rows(res) from the dplyr package). Afterwards add the intervals using the names in the result list.

res <- tapply(index_articles_migpunts$index_articles_ponderats2_migpunts, index_articles_migpunts$Tramspoblacio, quantile, probs=seq(.1,.9, by =.1))
df <- do.call(rbind, res)
df$intervals <- names(res)
