Hi Sangat,
Typically, categorical is useful when your array is large, contains duplicated values and has finite set of discrete categories. For example, a very long vector of US states. A categorical array provides efficient storage and convenient manipulation of nonnumeric data. Regarding the situations you provided, I would recommend:
  • A list of text where some values in the list are repeated
  • A column in a table that labels which group each row belongs to
Thanks,
Lei
