Description

A function that returns a description median that contains the interquartile range or the full range

Usage

describeMedian(x, iqr = TRUE, html = TRUE, digits = 1,
  number_first = TRUE, useNA = c("ifany", "no", "always"),
  useNA.digits = digits, percentage_sign = TRUE, language = "en", ...)

Arguments

x

The variable that you want the statistics for

iqr

If interquartile range should be used

html

If HTML compatible output should be used. If FALSE it outputs LaTeX formatting

digits

The number of decimals used

number_first

If the number should be given or if the percentage should be presented first. The second is encapsulated in parentheses (). This is only used together with the useNA variable.

useNA

This indicates if missing should be added as a separate row below all other. See table for useNA-options. Note: defaults to ifany and not "no" as table does.

useNA.digits

The number of digits to use for the missing percentage, defaults to the overall digits.

percentage_sign

If you want to suppress the percentage sign you can set this variable to FALSE. You can also choose something else that the default % if you so wish by setting this variable. Note, this is only used when combined with the missing information.

language

The ISO-639-1 two-letter code for the language of interest. Currently only english is distinguished from the ISO format using a ',' as the separator in the txtInt function.
