control_analyze_vars: Control function for descriptive statistics

Description

Sets a list of parameters for summaries of descriptive statistics. Typically used internally to specify details for s_summary(). This function family is mainly used by analyze_vars().

Usage

control_analyze_vars(
  conf_level = 0.95,
  quantiles = c(0.25, 0.75),
  quantile_type = 2,
  test_mean = 0
)

Value

A list of components with the same names as the arguments.

Arguments

conf_level

(proportion)
confidence level of the interval.

quantiles

(numeric(2))
vector of length two to specify the quantiles to calculate.

quantile_type

(numeric(1))
number between 1 and 9 selecting quantile algorithms to be used. Default is set to 2 as this matches the default quantile algorithm in SAS proc univariate set by QNTLDEF=5. This differs from R's default. See more about type in stats::quantile().

test_mean

(numeric(1))
number to test against the mean under the null hypothesis when calculating p-value.
