Changing reference group in a numeric variable

[PoppyEP]

Hello,

I have been able to change the reference group in my factor binary variables using the 'relevel' function.
I now need to do this for a numeric variable I have which I recoded to be 1 and 0 and the relevel function does not work for this type of variable.

At the moment, 0 is the reference group and I wish for 1 to become the reference.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Is this what you like to do?

#Create a factor with levels 1, 0 (in that order)
x = factor(sample(0:1, 10, replace = T), levels = 1:0)
x
#>  [1] 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
#> Levels: 1 0

#Switch levels to 0, 1
x = factor(x, 0:1)
x
#>  [1] 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
#> Levels: 0 1
