create variables from R Data "swiss"

[Resa]

Hello,

How can i create with the Variable, Catholic, from the Data "swiss" in R logical variables like the following?

• Evangelical: if the proportion of Catholics is below 25 percent.
• Catholic: if the proportion of Catholics is over 75 percent.
• Mixed: if the proportion of Catholics is between 25 and 75 percent.

and how can I get the frequencies from the variables listed above?
many thanks

Do you mean something like this? Calculating the mean of a Logical vector gives you the fraction of elements that are TRUE because TRUE is equal to 1 and False is equal to 0.

data("swiss")
swiss$Evg_region <- swiss$Catholic < 25.0
head(swiss)
