meantables

The goal of meantables is to quickly make tables of descriptive statistics (i.e., counts, means, confidence intervals) for continuous variables. This package is designed to work in a Tidyverse pipeline, and consideration has been given to get results from R to ‘Microsoft Word’ ® with minimal pain.

Installation

You can install the released version of meantables from CRAN with:

install.packages("meantables")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("brad-cannell/meantables")

Example

library(dplyr)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'dplyr'
#> The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
#> 
#>     filter, lag
#> The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
#> 
#>     intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
library(meantables)

data("mtcars")

Overall mean table with defaults

mtcars %>% 
  mean_table(mpg)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 9
#>   response_var     n  mean    sd   sem   lcl   ucl   min   max
#>   <chr>        <int> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 mpg             32  20.1  6.03  1.07  17.9  22.3  10.4  33.9

Formatting overall mean and 95% CI

mtcars %>%
  mean_table(mpg) %>%
  mean_format(
    recipe = "mean (lcl - ucl)",
    name = "mean_95",
    digits = 1
  ) %>% 
  select(response_var, mean_95)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 2
#>   response_var mean_95           
#>   <chr>        <chr>             
#> 1 mpg          20.1 (17.9 - 22.3)

Formatting grouped means table with mean and sd

mtcars %>%
  group_by(cyl) %>%
  mean_table(mpg) %>%
  mean_format("mean (sd)") %>% 
  select(response_var:group_cat, formatted_stats)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 4
#>   response_var group_var group_cat formatted_stats
#>   <chr>        <chr>         <dbl> <chr>          
#> 1 mpg          cyl               4 26.66 (4.51)   
#> 2 mpg          cyl               6 19.74 (1.45)   
#> 3 mpg          cyl               8 15.1 (2.56)

Grouped means table with defaults

mtcars %>% 
  group_by(cyl) %>%

#>   response_var group_var group…¹     n  mean    sd   sem   lcl   ucl   min   max
