title: Collapsing numeric values
body: <p>I have two variables with the following levels: 1, 2, and 3. I averaged them together so now the levels are:</p>
  <p>Levels: 0 &lt; .5 &lt; 1 &lt; 1.5 &lt; 2 &lt; 2.5 &lt; 3</p>
  <p>However, I need to collapse .5 with 1, 1.5 with 2, and 2.5 with 3. Would the easiest solution bet to use factor recode? The syntax does not appear to make sense to me.</p>
