Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Takes in up to 3 numeric values, rounds each to a specified digit amount (if numeric), and then combines them accordingly.

stat_paste(stat1, stat2 = NULL, stat3 = NULL, digits = 0,
  trailing_zeros = TRUE, bound_char = c("(", "[", "{", "|"),
  sep = ", ", na_str_out = "---")

`stat1`	first statistic to be pasted.
`stat2`	second statistic to be pasted (optional).
`stat3`	third statistic to be pasted (optional).
`digits`	positive integer of length 1 between 0 (default) and 14, giving the amount of digits to round to.
`trailing_zeros`	logical indicating if trailing zeros should included (i.e. 0.100 instead of 0.1). Note is set to TRUE output is a character vector
`bound_char`	the character to be used between stat1 and stat2/stat3. Available options are '(' (default), '[', '{', and '\|'.
`sep`	the string to be used between stat2 and stat3. The default is ', '.
`na_str_out`	the character to replace missing values with.

One value provided - returns a rounded value or the missing character. Two values - returns stat1 (stat2). e.g., mean (sd) Three values - returns stat1 (stat2, stat3). e.g., estimate (95% lower, 95% upper) or median [min, max]

Currently the method does work with string variables, but of course rounding would not be relevant for strings.
