zap_attr: Remove Attributes to Get a Simplified Object

In dcomtois/summarytools: Tools to Quickly and Neatly Summarize Data

Remove Attributes to Get a Simplified Object

Description

Get rid of summarytools-specific attributes to get a simple data structure (matrix, array, ...), which can be easily manipulated.

Usage

zap_attr(x, except = c("dim", "dimnames"))

Arguments

x	An object with attributes
except	Character. A vector of attribute names to preserve. By default, “dim” and “dimnames” are preserved.

Details

If the object contains grouped results:

• The inner objects will lose their attributes

• The “stby” class will be replaced with “by”

• The “dim” and “dimnames” attributes will be set to available relevant values, but expect slight differences between objects created with stby() vs group_by().

Examples

data(tobacco)
zap_attr(descr(tobacco))
zap_attr(freq(tobacco$gender))
