getStatsData: Get default set of statistics for variables of interest and...

In inTextSummaryTable: Creation of in-Text Summary Table

Get default set of statistics for variables of interest and specific dataset.

Description

This set of statistics can be passed directly to the stats parameter of the package functions.
By default, statistics are extracted based on the variable(s) type and formatted with the default rules implemented in the package.

Usage

getStatsData(
  data,
  var = NULL,
  type = "default",
  extra = NULL,
  args = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	Data.frame with dataset to consider for the summary table.
var	(optional, recommended for continuous variable) Character vector with variable(s) of data, to compute statistics on. If NULL (by default), counts of the entire dataset are computed. It is passed to the x parameter of getStats.
type	Character vector with type of statistics to extract, among: 'default': default sets of statistics, see types: 'summary-default' and 'count-default' in getStats 'all': all computed statistics, see types: 'summary' and 'count' in getStats any formatted statistics as implemented in getStats, see section 'Formatted statistics' in in-text table statistics. To specify statistics for a continuous (numeric) or categorical variable separately, this vector can be named with: 'cont' or 'cat' respectively (elements not named are used for both continuous and categorical variables).
extra	List with extra statistics to include, or function to apply on each var (e.g. depending on the class of var) to get such statistic.
args	(optional) Named list with extra arguments for getStats for continuous (name: 'cont') or categorical variable (name: 'cat') specifically.
...	Extra parameters passed to the getStats function (independent of the variable type).

Value

List with statistics to compute, named by var

Examples

# default set of statistics (depending if the variable is continuous or categorical)
exampleData <- data.frame(
  USUBJID = 1 : 4, 
  WEIGHT = c(67, 78, 83, 61), 
  SEX = c("F", "M", "M", "F"), 
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
getStatsData(data = exampleData, var = c("WEIGHT", "SEX"))
# all set of statistics (depending if the variable is continuous or categorical)
getStatsData(data = exampleData, var = c("WEIGHT", "SEX"), type = "all")
# custom set of statistics for all variables
getStatsData(data = exampleData, var = c("WEIGHT", "SEX"), type = c("n", "%"))
# custom set of statistics, depending on the type of the variable
getStatsData(data = exampleData, var = c("WEIGHT", "SEX"), 
  type = c(cont = "median (range)", cont = "mean (se)", cat = "n (%)"), 
  args = list(cat = list(includeName = FALSE))
)
