percent: Percent

Description

Calculates percentage of cases for provided variable and criteria specified in subset argument. Function accepts numeric, factor and logical variables for x parameter. If numeric and/or factor is provided, subsetting can be achieved via subset argument. Depending on value of na.rm argument, either valid (na.rm = TRUE) or all cases (na.rm = FALSE) are taken into account. By passing logical variable to x, a sum of (TRUE) elements is calculated instead, and valid percents are used (NA are excluded).
