tabulate_vector function

Tabulate vector

Shows frequency and proportion of unique values in a table format

tabulate_vector(
  vector = NULL,
  na.rm = TRUE,
  sort_by_decreasing_count = NULL,
  sort_by_increasing_count = NULL,
  sort_by_decreasing_value = NULL,
  sort_by_increasing_value = NULL,
  total_included = TRUE,
  sigfigs = NULL,
  round_digits_after_decimal = NULL,
  output_type = "dt"
)

Arguments

• vector: a character or numeric vector
• na.rm: if TRUE, NA values will be removed before calculating frequencies and proportions.
• sort_by_decreasing_count: if TRUE, the output table will be sorted in the order of decreasing frequency.
• sort_by_increasing_count: if TRUE, the output table will be sorted in the order of increasing frequency.
• sort_by_decreasing_value: if TRUE, the output table will be sorted in the order of decreasing value.
• sort_by_increasing_value: if TRUE, the output table will be sorted in the order of increasing value.
• total_included: if TRUE, the output table will include a row for total counts.
• sigfigs: number of significant digits to round to
• round_digits_after_decimal: round to nth digit after decimal (alternative to sigfigs)
• output_type: if output_type = "df", return a data.frame. By default, output_type = "dt", which will return a data.table.

Returns

if output_type = "dt", which is the default, the output will be a data.table showing the count and proportion (percent) of each element in the given vector; if output_type = "df", the output will be a data.frame showing the count and proportion (percent) of each value in the given vector.

Examples

tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA))
tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA),
  sort_by_increasing_count = TRUE
)
tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA),
  sort_by_decreasing_value = TRUE
)
tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA),
  sort_by_increasing_value = TRUE
)
tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA),
  sigfigs = 4
)
tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA),
  round_digits_after_decimal = 1
)
tabulate_vector(c("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c", NA),
  output_type = "df"
