Details
By default, a compareGroup descriptives table lists variables by label (if one exists) rather than by name. If researchers have assigned detailed labels to their variables, this function is very useful to quickly locate the original variable name if some modification is required. This function simply lists all "Analyzed variable names" by "Orig varname" (i.e. variable name in the data.frame) and "Shown varname" (i.e., label).
