prGetStatistics: Get statistics according to the type

Description

A simple function applied by the getDescriptionStatsBy for the total column. This function is also used by printCrudeAndAdjustedModel in case of a basic linear regression is asked for a raw stat column

Usage

prGetStatistics(x, show_perc = FALSE, html = TRUE, digits = 1, numbers_first = TRUE, useNA = "no", show_all_values = FALSE, continuous_fn = describeMean, factor_fn = describeFactors, prop_fn = factor_fn, percentage_sign = percentage_sign)

Arguments

x
The variable that we want the statistics for
show_perc
If this is a factor/proportion variable then we might want to show the percentages
html
If the output should be in html or LaTeX formatting
digits
Number of decimal digits
numbers_first
If number is to be prior to the percentage
useNA
If missing should be included
show_all_values
This is by default false as for instance if there is no missing and there is only one variable then it is most sane to only show one option as the other one will just be a complement to the first. For instance sex - if you know gender then automatically you know the distribution of the other sex as it's 100 % - other %.
continuous_fn
A function for describing continuous variables defaults to describeMean
factor_fn
A function for describing factors, defaults to describeFactors
prop_fn
A function for describing proportions, defaults to the factor function
percentage_sign
If you want to suppress the percentage sign you can set this variable to FALSE. You can also choose something else that the default % if you so wish by setting this variable.

Value

A matrix or a vector depending on the settingsTODO: Use the Gmisc function instead of this copy
