count_by: Count according to grouping

In tidytidbits: A Collection of Tools and Helpers Extending the Tidyverse

Count according to grouping

Description

Similar to dplyr::count(), but also adds the relative proportion and a percent-formatted string of the relative proportion, and allows to specify the column names.

Usage

count_by(
  .tbl,
  ...,
  column_names = c("n", "rel", "percent"),
  percentage_label_decimal_places = 1,
  add_grouping = T,
  na.rm = F
)

Arguments

.tbl	A data frame
...	Columns / expressions by which to group / which shall be used for counting.
column_names	vector if size 1 to 3, giving the names of (in order if unnamed, or named with n, rel, percent) the column containing the count, the relative proportion, and the latter formatted as a percent label. If a name is not contained, it will not be added (requires named vector).
percentage_label_decimal_places	Decimal precision of the percent label
add_grouping	Shall a pre-existing grouping be preserved for counting (adding the newly specified grouping)? Default is yes, which differs from group_by.
na.rm	Shall NA values be removed prior to counting?

Value

The counted data frame

Examples

library(magrittr)
if (requireNamespace("survival", quietly = TRUE))
{
   survival::aml %>%
   count_by(x)
}
