add_p()
and add_difference()
Below is a listing of tests available internally within gtsummary.
Tests listed with ...
may have additional arguments
passed to them using add_p(test.args=)
. For example, to
calculate a p-value from t.test()
assuming equal variance, use
tbl_summary(trial, by = trt) %>% add_p(age ~ "t.test", test.args = age ~ list(var.equal = TRUE))

To report a p-value (or difference) for a test not available in gtsummary, you can create a
custom function. The output is a data frame that is one line long. The
structure is similar to the output of broom::tidy()
of a typical
statistical test. The add_p()
and add_difference()
functions will look for columns called
"p.value"
, "estimate"
, "statistic"
, "std.error"
, "parameter"
,
"conf.low"
, "conf.high"
, and "method"
.
You can also pass an Analysis Results Dataset (ARD) object with the results for your custom result. These objects follow the structures outlined by the {cards} and {cardx} packages.
Example calculating a p-value from a t-test assuming a common variance between groups.
ttest_common_variance <- function(data, variable, by, ...) { data <- data[c(variable, by)] %>% dplyr::filter(complete.cases(.)) t.test(data[[variable]] ~ factor(data[[by]]), var.equal = TRUE) %>% broom::tidy() } trial[c("age", "trt")] %>% tbl_summary(by = trt) %>% add_p(test = age ~ "ttest_common_variance")
A custom add_difference()
is similar, and accepts arguments conf.level=
and adj.vars=
as well.
ttest_common_variance <- function(data, variable, by, conf.level, ...) { data <- data[c(variable, by)] %>% dplyr::filter(complete.cases(.)) t.test(data[[variable]] ~ factor(data[[by]]), conf.level = conf.level, var.equal = TRUE) %>% broom::tidy() }
For tbl_summary()
objects, the custom function will be passed the
following arguments: custom_pvalue_fun(data=, variable=, by=, group=, type=, conf.level=, adj.vars=)
.
While your function may not utilize each of these arguments, these arguments
are passed and the function must accept them. We recommend including ...
to future-proof against updates where additional arguments are added.
The following table describes the argument inputs for each gtsummary table type.
argument | tbl_summary | tbl_svysummary | tbl_survfit | tbl_continuous |
data= | A data frame | A survey object | A survfit() object | A data frame |
variable= | String variable name | String variable name | NA | String variable name |
by= | String variable name | String variable name | NA | String variable name |
group= | String variable name | NA | NA | String variable name |
type= | Summary type | Summary type | NA | NA |
conf.level= | Confidence interval level | NA | NA | NA |
adj.vars= | Character vector of adjustment variable names (e.g. used in ANCOVA) | NA | NA | Character vector of adjustment variable names (e.g. used in ANCOVA) |
continuous_variable= | NA | NA | NA | String of the continuous variable name |
