table.text: Function to compute and render text entries for BL-table

In FrThomas/risyphus: Tools/utility functions to facilitate recurrent tasks with focus on observational studies and clinical trials with two groups

Description

Function to compute and render text entries for BL-table

Usage

table.text(this.data, this.var, group.var, this.GroupA, this.GroupB,
  this.type, this.test, sign.digits, sign.digits.prop, pvalue.digits,
  pvalue.cutoff, less.than.character)

Arguments

this.data	Data used for the computations
this.var	Variable in the table (must exist in this.data)
group.var	The name of the variable (column) in data that partitions the data set into two groups.
this.GroupA	Name (factor level) of 'Group A' in the table
this.GroupB	Name (factor level) of 'Group B' in the table
this.type	Variable type for table
this.test	Test that determines p-value
sign.digits	Digits used for mean, standard deviation, etc.
sign.digits.prop	Digits used for proportion of cases for factors.
pvalue.digits	Digits used for p-values.
pvalue.cutoff	Cutoff for changing p-values to simply 'smaller than', e.g., p < 0.001.
less.than.character	The character to be prepended to the cutoff-value for the p-values (e.g., '< 0.001'). The default is less.than.character = "< " but it can be reset to any character string. If the result is passed on to html-rendering this symbol can be produced by less.than.character = "&lt; " (HTML-friendly name for 'less than' since '<' is used in HTML-tags and might not render correctly as a character; e.g., when using function htmlTable() in the htmlTable-package).

Value

Output used by BLtable()
