Adding analyzed variables to our table layout defines the primary
tabulation to be performed. We do this by adding calls to analyze
and/or analyze_colvars
into our layout pipeline. As with adding
further splitting, the tabulation will occur at the current/next level of
nesting by default.
Arguments
- lyt
layout object pre-data used for tabulation
- vars
character vector. Multiple variable names.
- afun
function. Analysis function, must take
x
ordf
as its first parameter. Can optionally take other parameters which will be populated by the tabulation framework. See Details inanalyze
.- var_labels
character. Variable labels for 1 or more variables
- table_names
character. Names for the tables representing each atomic analysis. Defaults to
var
.- format
FormatSpec
. Format associated with this split. Formats can be declared via strings ("xx.x"
) or function. In cases such asanalyze
calls, they can character vectors or lists of functions.- na_str
character(1). String that should be displayed when the value of
x
is missing. Defaults to"NA"
.- nested
boolean. Should this layout instruction be applied within the existing layout structure if possible (
TRUE
, the default) or as a new top-level element (`FALSE). Ignored if it would nest a split underneath analyses, which is not allowed.- inclNAs
boolean. Should observations with NA in the
var
variable(s) be included when performing this analysis. Defaults toFALSE
- extra_args
list. Extra arguments to be passed to the tabulation function. Element position in the list corresponds to the children of this split. Named elements in the child-specific lists are ignored if they do not match a formal argument of the tabulation function.
- show_labels
character(1). Should the variable labels for corresponding to the variable(s) in
vars
be visible in the resulting table.- indent_mod
numeric. Modifier for the default indent position for the structure created by this function(subtable, content table, or row) and all of that structure's children. Defaults to 0, which corresponds to the unmodified default behavior.
- section_div
character(1). String which should be repeated as a section divider after each group defined by this split instruction, or
NA_character_
(the default) for no section divider.
Value
A PreDataTableLayouts
object suitable for passing to further
layouting functions, and to build_table
.
Details
When non-NULL format
is used to specify formats for all generated
rows, and can be a character vector, a function, or a list of functions. It
will be repped out to the number of rows once this is known during the
tabulation process, but will be overridden by formats specified within
rcell
calls in afun
.
The analysis function (afun
) should take as its first parameter either
x
or df
. Which of these the function accepts changes the
behavior when tabulation is performed.
If
afun
's first parameter is x, it will receive the corresponding subset vector of data from the relevant column (fromvar
here) of the raw data being used to build the table.If
afun
's first parameter isdf
, it will receive the corresponding subset data.frame (i.e. all columns) of the raw data being tabulated
In addition to differentiation on the first argument, the analysis function
can optionally accept a number of other parameters which, if and only
if present in the formals will be passed to the function by the tabulation
machinery. These are listed and described in additional_fun_params
.
Note
None of the arguments described in the Details section
can be overridden via extra_args
or when calling
make_afun
. .N_col
and .N_total
can
be overridden via the col_counts
argument to
build_table
. Alternative values for the others
must be calculated within afun
based on a combination
of extra arguments and the unmodified values provided by the
tabulation framework.
