Why do we convert categorical variables into factor? Which function is used in r to perform the same?
Answer / Robin Singh
We convert categorical variables into factors to ensure that R treats them as discrete values, rather than converting them to character strings. In R, the function for converting a variable to a factor is `as.factor()`.
