r2lh (version 0.6.1)

r2hb: ~ Function: R to HTML, Bivariate analysis ~

Description

r2htmlBiv (or r2hb in short) performs some bivariate analyses, then generates code to be included in a HTML document in order to print out the analyses on a Web page.

Usage

r2hb(formula,fileOut="",textBefore="",textAfter="",graphDir="graphBiv",graphName="V",type="png",displayStyle=7,limDiscreteY=10,limDiscreteX=10)
  r2htmlBiv(formula,fileOut="",textBefore="",textAfter="",graphDir="graphBiv",graphName="V",type="png",displayStyle=7,limDiscreteY=10,limDiscreteX=10)

Arguments

formula

[variable~variable] or [variable~data.frame] : contains the data to analyse. In all the following, the left part will be called Y, the right part will be X.

fileOut

[character] name of the output file in which the HTML summary will be saved. If empty, the HTML code is printed on screen.

textBefore

[character] or [vector(character)] : before printing a variable analysis, r2hb can write a text. If X is a single variable, textBefore should be of length 1. If X is a d

textAfter

[character] or [vector(character)] : same as textBefore but the text is printed after the variable analysis. See textBefore and examples for details.

graphDir

[character] : directory used to save the graphs generated by the analyses.

graphName

[character] or [vector(character)] : prefix for the graph names. If empty, the graph names are V1 to V'length(data.frame)'

type

[character] : type of plotting device used to export the graphics. Can be Windows metafile, PNG, JPEG, BMP (Windows bitmap format), TIFF, PostScript or PDF.

displayStyle

[numeric] or [vector(numeric)] : r2hb proposes two different ways of displaying the results. The first one is compact, it displays all the results on two lines. If the number of modalities of X

limDiscreteY

[numeric] : r2hb distinguishes two kinds of numeric variables: discrete designates numeric variables with only a few modalities, continuous designates nume

limDiscreteX

[numeric] or [vector(numeric)]: same as limDiscreteY. If X is a data.frame, limDiscreteX can have the same length as X or can be of length 1 (and is recyc

Value

• r2hb generates HTML code and either prints it on the screen, or saves it in a file. It also generates several graphs, optionally in a different directory.

Classical usage

The use of r2hb goes through the following steps: ll{ Step 1. Load the data (usually, a data.frame). Step 2. Optionally, set some variables as ordered. Step 3. Run r2hb(Y~dataFrame,"fileOut.html"). } See examples of application.

Details

r2hb performs some basic analyses, then generates code to be included in a HTML document in order to print out the analyses in a Web page. r2hb performs the analyses automatically according to the data class. It considers 5 classes: nominal with 2 modalities, nominal with 3 modalities or more, ordered, discrete and continuous (see the description of limDiscreteY for details on discrete and continuous). The analysis of the variable depends on the class of Y and X wich gives 25 possible combinations. We will not give a description here, all of them are presented in the pdf file /library/r2lh/doc/r2lhOutput.pdf. They can be divided in two categories. First (on the top of the tabular) are descriptive analyses:

1. table: absolute and relative frequency.
2. summary: mainly whenYis continuous andXhas few modalities.
3. graphical representation: barplot or boxplot for each modalities ofX, mosaic plot, scatter plot, density lines according to the type of the variable.

On the second part of the tabular are all the informations related to a potential link between Y and X.

1. test: khi2, Fisher exact test, Student's T, ANOVA, Wilcoxon, Kruskal & Wallis, Spearman correlation, Pearson correlation, Odds Ratio and Relative Risk, depending on the classes ofYandX. Note that as many tests as possible are run. For example, ifYis nominal andXis ordered,Xcan be considered as a factor (khi2 and Fisher exact test) but also as a discrete variable (Wilcoxon).
2. graphical diagnostic: the test presented might not be all valid. Some graphical diagnostic (check for normality) are presented to let the user decide which test is more relevant.

The wide display gives : +---+---+---+ | 1 | 2 | 3 | +---+-+-+---+ | 4 | 5 | +-----+-----+ The long display : +-------+ | 1 | +---+---+ | 2 | 3 | +---+---+ | 4 | 5 | +---+---+ If X is a data.frame, r2hb runs the analyses on every column. See /library/r2lh/doc/r2lhOutput.pdf for display detail.

### Create some data
V1 <- factor(LETTERS[floor(runif(50,1,4))])
V2 <- rnorm(50,1,1)<0
V3 <- ordered(LETTERS[floor(runif(50,1,4))])

### Create a directory for the output
if(!file.exists("tmp/r2hbExample",recursive=TRUE)){dir.create("tmp/r2hbExample",recursive=TRUE)}else{}
setwd("tmp/r2hbExample")

### Execute r2hb
r2hb(V1~V2,fileOut="first.html",textBefore="<H2>Variables V1, V2, V3</H2>",graphName="Gr1",type="png")
r2hb(V2~V1,fileOut="second.html",graphName="Gr2",type="png")
r2hb(V3~V1,fileOut="third.html",textBefore="This is V3 vs. V1",graphDir="P",graphName="Gr3",type="png",displayStyle=2)
r2hMainFile(text="<LU>
<LI><A HREF='first.html'>First example</A></LI>
<LI><A HREF='second.html'>Second example</A></LI>
<LI><A HREF='third.html'>Third example</A></LI>
</LU>
