Generate a table with descriptive statistics
gentab_descr.RdGiven a dataframe and a set of numerical variables of that dataframe, it generate a table with descriptive statistics for each of those variables.
Usage
gentab_descr(
df,
v,
f = NA,
type = "mean",
ROUND = FALSE,
dig = NA,
unit_mes = NA,
missing = "only if >0"
)Arguments
- df
a dataframe.
- v
a character vector. Each element must correspond to a column name of the df, each of which must contain numeric values.
- f
character of length 1 or a missing value. If you pass here a character, that must be a column of the df containing a factor: if so, the function will perform the descriptive statistics grouped by that factor.
- type
one of the following: "mean", "mean SD", "median", "median (min; max)", "median (5th; 95th percentile)", or "median (25th; 75th percentile)".
- ROUND
logical. Should the values be rounded? if TRUE, you could indicate the number of decimal places in the dig argument.
- dig
numeric of length 1 or a missing value. If ROUND is TRUE, you can indicate here the number of decimal places; if missing, the function round_the_result of the present package will be used.
- unit_mes
character of length 1 or a missing value. You can specify here a unit of measure to add to each cell of the table (I'd suggest to do it only if is actually the same for each variable indicated with v).
- missing
one of the following: "always", "never", or "only if >0". Do you also want to report in the table how many missing values are present?
