Continuous variable description

Description continuous by quantitative variables and/or by categorical variables

condes(donnee,num.var,weights=NULL,proba = 0.05)

Arguments

• num.var: the number of the variable to characterized
• weights: weights for the individuals; if NULL, all individuals has a weight equals to 1; the sum of the weights can be equal to 1 and then the weights will be multiplied by the number of individuals, the sum can be greater than the number of individuals
• proba: the significance threshold considered to characterized the category (by default 0.05)

Returns

Returns a list including: - quanti: the description of the num.var variable by the quantitative variables. The variables are sorted in ascending order (from the one which characterized the most to the one which significantly characterized with the proba proba)
