Summarize continuous and categorical data in long format

This function makes a single table from both continuous and categorical data.

pt_demographics(
  data,
  cols_cont,
  cols_cat,
  span = NULL,
  units = NULL,
  table = NULL,
  stat_name = "Statistic",
  stat_width = 2,
  summarize_all = TRUE,
  all_name = "All data",
  fun = dem_cont_fun,
  notes = pt_demographics_notes(),
  paneled = TRUE
)

Arguments

data

the data frame to summarize; the user should filter or subset so that data contains exactly the records to be summarized; pmtables will not add or remove rows prior to summarizing data

cols_cont

the continuous data columns to summarize; this argument may be specified as a character vector, comma-separated string or quosure

cols_cat

the categorical columns to summarize; this argument may be specified as a character vector, comma-separated string or quosure

span

variable name for column spanner

units

optional units for each summarized column; must be a named list where the names correspond with continuous data columns in data

table

a named list to use for renaming columns (see details and examples)

stat_name

name of statistic column

stat_width

width (in cm) of the statistic column

summarize_all

logical; if TRUE, summaries across all span levels will be appended to the right hand side of the table

all_name

a character name for the all data summary invoked by summarize_all

fun

The summary function to use for summarizing the continuous data; the default is dem_cont_fun(). The result will be validated with validate_dem_fun().

notes

notes a character vector of notes to place under the table

paneled

logical; if TRUE, the table will be paneled with the covariate names; otherwise, the covariate names will appear as the left-most column with non-repeating names cleared and separated with hline (see examples).

Value

An object of class pmtable. An object with class pmtable; see class-pmtable.

Details

When a continuous data summary function (fun) is passed, the user should also pass a set of notes that explain the summary statistics produced by that function. If no notes are passed, no notes will appear under the table.

The categorical data is summarized using pt_cat_long(). The default summary function for continuous variables is dem_cont_fun(). Please review that documentation for details on the default summary for this table.

If you wish to define your own function, please ensure the output is in the same format. Any number of columns is acceptable.
