Exporting descriptives table to plain text (CSV) format

export2csv.Rd

This function takes the result of createTable and exports the tables to plain text (CSV) format.

Usage

export2csv(x, file, which.table="descr", sep=",", nmax = TRUE, nmax.method = 1, 
           header.labels = c(), ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class 'createTable'.

file

file where table in CSV format will be written. Also, another file with the extension '_appendix' is written with the available data table.

which.table

character indicating which table is printed. Possible values are 'descr', 'avail' or 'both' (partial matching allowed), exporting descriptives by groups table, available data table or both tables, respectively. Default value is 'descr'.

sep

character. The variable separator, same as 'sep' argument from write.table. Default value is ','.

nmax

logical, indicating whether to show the number of subjects with at least one valid value across all row-variables. Default value is TRUE.

nmax.method

integer with two possible values: 1-number of observation with valid values in at least one row-variable; 2-total number of observations or rows in the data set or in the group. Default value is 1.

header.labels

see the 'header.labels' argument from createTable.

...

other arguments passed to write.table.

Note

The default way to compute the 'N' shown in the bivariate table header, controlled by 'nmax' argument, has been changed from previous versions (<1.3). In the older versions 'N' was computed as the maximum across the cells withing each column (group) from the 'available data' table ('avail').
