Fast frequency tables - Still experimental

Description

This is not a one-to-one copy of base::table() as some behaviours differ. It is more flexible as it accepts inputs such as data frames and vctrs_rcrd objects.

Usage

cheapr_table(
  ...,
  names = TRUE,
  order = FALSE,
  na_exclude = FALSE,
  classed = FALSE
)

counts(x, sort = is.factor(x))

table_(..., names = TRUE, order = FALSE, na_exclude = FALSE, classed = FALSE)

Arguments

...	⁠>=1⁠ objects that can be converted to a factor through cheapr::factor_().
names	Should level names be kept? Default is TRUE.
order	Should result be ordered by level names? Default is FALSE.
na_exclude	Should NA values be excluded? Default is FALSE.
classed	Should a table object be returned? Default is FALSE
x	A vector.
sort	Should groups be sorted? Default is FALSE.

Details

cheapr_table() tries to match the behaviour of table() where possible. counts() is an alternative that returns a data.frame of unique keys and counts.

Value

A named integer vector if one object is supplied, otherwise an array.
