summarytools provides users with functions to neatly and quickly summarize numerical and categorical data. Data frame summaries, frequency tables and cross-tabulations, as well as common univariate statistics can be produced in a straightforward manner. Users with little to no prior R programming experience but who are familiar with the concepts (and maybe with some procedures coming from other software packages) should find their way easily.
These are the four core functions:
Extensive yet legible data frame summaries.
Frequency tables supporting weights and displaying proportions of valid and of total data, including cumulative proportions.
All common univariate descriptive stats for single vectors or for all numerical vectors in a data frame.
Cross-tabulations for two categorical vectors or factors. Choose between Total, Columns or Rows proportions.
Output formats are:
Ideal when looking at results in the console.
Ideal when writing short papers or presentations.
This format is well integrated in RStudio (but will
work with any browser). Use the view() function to see results
appear directly in RStudio<U+2019>s Viewer or in your default Web
Browser.
