Desc.table: Describe a 2-dimensional Contingency Table

Description

A 2-dimensional table will be described with it's relative frequencies, a short summary containing the total cases, the dimensions of the table, chi-square tests and some association measures as phi-coefficient, contingency coefficient and Cramer's V.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'table':
Desc(x, main = NULL, rfrq = NULL, 
     margins = c(1, 2), plotit = getOption("plotit", FALSE), 
     verbose = c("medium","low","high"), ...)
## S3 method for class 'matrix':
Desc(x, main = NULL, rfrq = NULL,  
     margins = c(1,2), plotit = getOption("plotit", FALSE), 
     verbose = c("medium","low","high"), ...)

Arguments

x

a 2-dimensional table or matrix

main

the main caption for the output.

rfrq

a string with 3 characters, each of them being 1 or 0. The first position is interpreted as total percentages, the second as row percentages and the third as column percentages. "011" hence produces a table ou

margins

a vector, consisting out of 1 and/or 2. Defines the margin sums to be included. Row margins are reported if margins is set to 1. Set it to 2 for column margins and c(1,2) for both. Default is NULL (none).

plotit

logical. Should a plot be created? The table will be plotted by PlotDesc.table, which creates two mosaicplots. Default is FALSE.

verbose

character defining the verbosity of the reported results. One out of c("medium","low","high"), "medium" being the default. Can be abbreviated.

...

the dots are passed to the function PercTable, allowing to set futher arguments like expected values etc.

Value

• no results are returned.

Details

Note that NAs cannot be handled by this interface, as tables in general come in "as.is", say basically as a matrix without any further information about potentially cleared NAs.
