kTable: Make Nicely Formatted Tables

Description

Function for creating nice 1D and 2D tables. Tables are generated and formatted with both counts and percentages. Primarily intended to be used with R Markdown documents, calling some of the table printing functions. The function returns a data.frame in a format that can be used with utility HTML generation functions.

Usage

kTable(x, y = NULL, deparse.level = 2,
    top.left.cell = "", col.names = NULL, row.names = NULL,
    left.label = NULL, top.label = NULL, google = FALSE)

Arguments

x

the x variable to build a table on

y

optional: the y variable to build a table on. Used for 2x2 contingency tables.

deparse.level

passed to table; deparse.level=2 allows us to pass through variable names

top.left.cell

the string to set in the top left cell of the table.

col.names

a vector of column names to use on the outputted table; typically this is parsed from the variables passed through.

row.names

a vector of row names to use on the outputted table; typically this is parsed from the variables passed through.

left.label

the label to use for the rows; typically parsed from x. Only used for 2D tables (ie, when y is not null)

top.label

the label to use for the columns; typically parsed from y. Only used for 2D tables (ie, when y is not null)

google

used if you plan on passing the table to gvistable from the googleVis package.

Examples

x <- rbinom(100, size=2, p=0.1)
y <- rbinom(100, size=2, p=0.1)

## try these in an R markdown document for best results
kTable(x)
my_table <- kTable(x, y, top.left.cell="foo", left.label="bar", top.label="baz")
pxt( my_table )
