R: Format a crosstabulation

delim.xtab

R Documentation

Format a crosstabulation

Description

Format a 2D crosstabulation from xtab

Usage

 delim.xtab(x,pct=c("row","column","cell"),coltot=TRUE,rowtot=TRUE,
  ndec=1,delim="\t",interdigitate=TRUE,label=deparse(substitute(x)))

Arguments

`x`	An object of class xtab.
`pct`	Whether and how to calculate percentages.
`coltot,rowtot`	Whether to add the marginal totals.
`ndec`	The number of decimal places for percentages.
`delim`	The delimiter to use between columns. Defaults to TAB.
`interdigitate`	Whether to place each column of percentages next to its row of counts.
`label`	A label to be displayed before the table.

Details

delim.xtab formats a crosstabulation in a manner similar to those produced by commercial spreadsheets, with a column of counts followed by a column of percentages. If interdigitate is FALSE, the percentages will be displayed separately.

delim.xtab will only process one 2D xtab object at a time.

To format only the counts, set pct to NA.

The intended use of delim.xtab is producing tables that can be imported into most word processors. If a table is output to an HTML or text document formatted with TAB characters, the output can be copied and pasted into the word processor document and then converted to a table.

Value

nil

Examples

 alpha1<-sample(LETTERS[1:3],50,TRUE)
 alpha2<-sample(LETTERS[1:2],50,TRUE)
 alphas<-data.frame(alpha1,alpha2)
 alphatab<-xtab(alpha1~alpha2,alphas)
 delim.xtab(alphatab,pct="row",interdigitate=TRUE)
 delim.xtab(alphatab,pct="column",interdigitate=TRUE)
 delim.xtab(alphatab,pct="cell",interdigitate=TRUE)
