How to truncate a numerical vector to a specified number of decimal places in R?
The truncation means removing the number of decimal places but not rounding. For example, if we have a value 5.1742145 then truncating to one decimal place will be 5.1 and rounding will be 5.2. In R, we can do this by using trunc function as shown in the below examples.
Example
x1<-rnorm(10) x1
Output
[1] -0.84499092 -0.54565852 2.41693972 -0.94680186 -0.03660552 -0.54338429 [7] -1.74402331 0.58996861 0.70335363 -0.44926205
Example
trunc(x1*10^2)/10^2
Output
[1] -0.84 -0.54 2.41 -0.94 -0.03 -0.54 -1.74 0.58 0.70 -0.44
Example
trunc(x1*10^3)/10^3
Output
[1] -0.844 -0.545 2.416 -0.946 -0.036 -0.543 -1.744 0.589 0.703 -0.449
