In epitools: Epidemiology Tools

Description

Create r x c contigency table for r exposure levels and c outcome levels

Usage

epitable(..., ncol =2, byrow = TRUE,
         rev = c("neither", "rows", "columns", "both"))

Arguments

...	see details
ncol	number of columns = 2 (default) when a table is constructed from a vector or sequence of numbers
byrow	Default is TRUE and single vector or collection of numbers is read in row-wise. Set to FALSE to read in column-wise.
rev	reverse order of "rows", "colums", "both", or "neither" (default)

Details

Creates r x 2 table with r exposure levels and 2 outcome levels (No vs. Yes). Arguments can be one of the following:

(1) four or more integers that be converted into r x 2 table (the number of integers must be even),

(2) two categorical vectors (1st vector is exposure with r levels, 2nd vector is outcome with 2 levels),

(3) r x 2 contingency table, or

(4) single vector that be converted into r x 2 table (the number of integers must be even).

The contingency table created by this function is usually used for additional analyses, for example, the epitab function.

Value

Returns r x 2 contingency table, usually for additional analyses.

Examples

## single vector
dat <- c(88, 20, 555, 347)
epitable(dat)

## 4 or more integers
epitable(1,2,3,4,5,6)

## single matrix
epitable(matrix(1:6, 3, 2))

## two categorical vectors
exposure <- factor(sample(c("Low", "Med", "High"), 100, rep=TRUE),
                   levels=c("Low", "Med", "High"))
outcome <- factor(sample(c("No", "Yes"), 100, rep=TRUE))
epitable(exposure, outcome)
epitable("Exposure"=exposure, "Disease"=outcome)

## reversing row and/or column order
zz <- epitable("Exposure Level"=exposure, "Disease"=outcome)
zz
epitable(zz, rev = "r")
epitable(zz, rev = "c")
epitable(zz, rev = "b")
