contTable {openintro}

Generate Contingency Tables for LaTeX

Description

Input a data frame or a table, and the LaTeX output will be returned. Options exist for row and column proportions as well as for showing work.

Usage

contTable(
  x,
  prop = c("none", "row", "col"),
  show = FALSE,
  digits = 3,
  caption = NULL,
  label = NULL
)

Arguments

x

A data frame (with two columns) or a table.

prop

Indicate whether row ("r", "R", "row") or column ("c", "C", "col") proportions should be used. The default is to simply print the contingency table.

show

If row or column proportions are specified, indicate whether work should be shown.

digits

The number of digits after the decimal that should be shown for row or column proportions.

caption

A string that contains the table caption. The default value is NULL. If x is a data frame and caption=NULL, then contTable creates a sensible caption from the data frame's column names. If x is a table and caption=NULL, then the caption is an empty string.

label

The latex table label. The default value is NULL. If x is a data frame and label=NULL, then contTable creates a sensible label from the data frame's column names. If x is a table and label=NULL, then the label is an empty string.

Details

The contTable function makes substantial use of the cat function.
