tables

The goal of tables is to compute and display complex tables of summary statistics.

Output may be in LaTeX, HTML, plain text, or an R matrix for further processing.

Installation

You can install the release version of orientlib using

install.packages("tables")

You can install the development version of tables from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("dmurdoch/tables")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(tables)

set.seed(123)

# In an R Markdown document, you don't want each table
# to output the HTML document header, so turn 
# off that option:

table_options(htmloptions(head=FALSE))

X <- rnorm(125, sd=100)
Group <- factor(sample(letters[1:5], 125, replace = TRUE))
tab <- tabular( Group ~ 
                  (N=1) +
                  Format(digits=2)*X*
                    ((Mean=mean) +
                     Heading("Std Dev")*sd) 
              )

# To print in plain text:
tab
#>                         
#>           X             
#>  Group N  Mean   Std Dev
#>  a     31  -6.84  82.50 
#>  b     28  13.06  97.04 
#>  c     17  -2.24  99.71 
#>  d     15   4.45  98.60 
#>  e     34   0.87  84.96

# To format in HTML:
toHTML(tab)
    X

a 31 -6.84 82.50

d 15 4.45 98.60
e 34 0.87 84.96
