delim.xtab: Format a crosstabulation

Description

Format a 2D crosstabulation from xtab

Usage

delim.xtab(x,pct=c("row","column","cell"),coltot=TRUE,rowtot=TRUE,
  ndec=1,delim="\t",interdigitate=TRUE,label=deparse(substitute(x)))

Arguments

x

An object of class xtab.

pct

Whether and how to calculate percentages.

coltot,rowtot

Whether to add the marginal totals.

ndec

The number of decimal places for percentages.

delim

The delimiter to use between columns. Defaults to TAB.

interdigitate

Whether to place each column of percentages next to its row of counts.

label

A label to be displayed before the table.

Value

nil

Details

delim.xtab formats a crosstabulation in a manner similar to those produced by commercial spreadsheets, with a column of counts followed by a column of percentages. If interdigitate is FALSE, the percentages will be displayed separately.

delim.xtab will only process one 2D xtab object at a time.

To format only the counts, set pct to NA.

The intended use of delim.xtab is producing tables that can be imported into most word processors. If a table is output to an HTML or text document formatted with TAB characters, the output can be copied and pasted into the word processor document and then converted to a table.
