proportions {base}R Documentation

Express Table Entries as Fraction of Marginal Table

Description

Returns conditional proportions given margins, i.e., entries of x, divided by the appropriate marginal sums.

Usage

proportions(x, margin = NULL)
prop.table(x, margin = NULL)

Arguments

x

an array, usually a table.

margin

a vector giving the margins to split by. E.g., for a matrix 1 indicates rows, 2 indicates columns, c(1, 2) indicates rows and columns. When x has named dimnames, it can be a character vector selecting dimension names.

Value

A table or array like x, expressed relative to margin.

Note

prop.table is an earlier name, retained for back-compatibility.
