# count() is a convenient way to get a sense of the distribution of
# values in a dataset
starwars %>% count(species)
starwars %>% count(species, sort = TRUE)
starwars %>% count(sex, gender, sort = TRUE)
starwars %>% count(birth_decade = round(birth_year, -1))
# use the `wt` argument to perform a weighted count. This is useful
# when the data has already been aggregated once
df <- tribble(
~name, ~gender, ~runs,
"Max", "male", 10,
"Sandra", "female", 1,
"Susan", "female", 4
)
# counts rows:
df %>% count(gender)
# counts runs:
df %>% count(gender, wt = runs)
# tally() is a lower-level function that assumes you've done the grouping
starwars %>% tally()
starwars %>% group_by(species) %>% tally()
# both count() and tally() have add_ variants that work like
# mutate() instead of summarise
df %>% add_count(gender, wt = runs)
df %>% add_tally(wt = runs)
