In gitronald/demotables: Simplifying Descriptive Frequencies and Statistics
dtables
- The goal of dtables is to quickly and intelligently generate useful and presentable descriptive frequencies and statistics tables with minimal input.
- The purpose of dtables is really just to make my life, and hopefully yours, a little easier.
- If you have any questions or want to help out feel free to send me an email or a pull request! My email can be found in the DESCRIPTION.
- See the latest changes since the CRAN version in the NEWS
Getting Started
# Install CRAN version:
install.packages("dtables")
# Or install Github (more recent, less stable, more fun) version:
devtools::install_github("gitronald/dtables")
# Load the package and data
library(dtables)
data(iris2)
The data.frame table (dft)
- Essentially a shortcut to
data.frame(table(x)), but better, much better:
> dft(iris2$Species, prop = TRUE, perc = TRUE)

1 setosa 52 0.3466667 34.7%
2 versicolor 49 0.3266667 32.7%
3 virginica 49 0.3266667 32.7%
- To add descriptive statistics to your dft, simply add a
by argument with the variable to describe:
> dft(iris2$Species, by = iris2$Sepal.Length, neat = FALSE)
group n prop perc mean sd median trimmed mad min max range ...

dvariable
- Generate variable details for an entire data.frame or for individual variables.
- Uses variable details to tag variables as:
- Variables which would make sense in a descriptive frequencies table -
frequencies
- Variables which would make sense in a descriptive statistics table -
statistics
- Will flag variables that it can't classify as frequencies or statistics (e.g. an empty variable or a complex variable such as date).
