[R] Reclassifying values within a vector to several other values

[Roy Sanderson]

Dear List

Apologies for such a simple question:

I have a vector of 738 elements, coded with values between 1 and 16 (but
not containing 7, 10, 11 or 13) and wish to recode value 14 to 1, 4 to 2, 1
to 3, 2 to 4 and all other values to 5.  I've been trying to use the
replace function (in base) and %in%, but without success.

Many thanks
Roy
