Desctable is a comprehensive descriptive and comparative tables generator for R.
Every person doing data analysis has to create tables for descriptive summaries of data (a.k.a. Table.1), or comparative tables.
Many packages, such as the aptly named tableone,
address this issue. However, they often include hard-coded behaviors,
have outputs not easily manipulable with standard R tools, or their
syntax are out-of-style (e.g. the argument order makes them difficult to
use with the pipe (%>%)).
Enter desctable, a package built with the following objectives in mind:
desctable uses and exports the pipe
(%>%) operator (from packages magrittr
and dplyr fame), though it is not mandatory to use
it.
The single interface to the package is its eponymous
desctable function.
When used on a data.frame, it returns a descriptive table:

describes every variable, with individual levels for factors. It picks
statistical functions depending on the type and distribution of the
variables in the data, and applies those statistical functions only on
the relevant variables.
The object produced by desctable is in fact a list of
data.frames, with a “desctable” class.
Methods for reduction to a simple dataframe (as.data.frame,
automatically used for printing), conversion to markdown
(pander), and interactive html output with
DT (datatable) are provided:

desctable() %>%
datatable()To use pander you need to load the package yourself.
Calls to pander and datatable with
“regular” dataframes will not be affected by the defaults used in the
package, and you can modify these defaults for
desctable objects.
The datatable wrapper function for desctable objects
comes with some default options and formatting such as freezing the row
names and table header, export buttons, and rounding of values. Both
pander and datatable wrapper take a
digits argument to set the number of decimals to show.
(pander uses the digits, justify and
missing arguments of pandoc.table, whereas
datatable calls prettyNum with the
digits parameter, and removes NA values. You
can set digits = NULL if you want the full table and format
it yourself)
Subsequent outputs in this vignette will use DT.
desctable automatically chooses statistical functions if
none is provided, using the following algorithm:
For each variable in the table, compute the relevant statistical
functions in that list (non-applicable functions will safely return
NA).
You can specify the statistical functions yourself with the stats argument. This argument can either be:
The functions/formulas leverage the tidyverse way of working with anonymous functions, i.e.:
If a function, is is used as is. If a formula,
e.g. ‘~ .x + 1’ or ~ . + 1, it is converted to a function.
There are three ways to refer to the arguments:
This syntax allows you to create very compact anonymous functions,
and is the same as in the map family of functions from
purrr.
Conditional formulas (condition ~ if_T | if F)
from previous versions are no longer supported!
The default value for the stats argument is
stats_auto, provided in the package.
Several other “automatic statistical functions” are defined in this
package: stats_auto, stats_default,
stats_normal, stats_nonnormal.
You can also provide your own automatic function, which needs to
# Strictly equivalent to iris %>% desctable() %>% datatable()
iris %>%
desctable(stats = stats_auto) %>%
datatable()For reference, here is the body of the stats_auto
function in the package:
## function (data)
## {
## numeric <- data %>% lapply(is.numeric) %>% unlist() %>% any
## fact <- data %>% lapply(is.factor) %>% unlist() %>% any()
## stats <- list(Min = min, Q1 = ~quantile(., 0.25), Med = stats::median,
## Mean = mean, Q3 = ~quantile(., 0.75), Max = max, sd = stats::sd,
## IQR = IQR)
## if (fact & numeric)
## c(list(N = length, `%` = percent), stats)
## else if (fact & !numeric)
## list(N = length, `%` = percent)
## else if (!fact & numeric)
## stats
## }
## <bytecode: 0x561c4d2a8d68>
## <environment: namespace:desctable>Statistical functions can be any function defined in
R that you want to use, such as length or
mean.
The only condition is that they return a single numerical value. One
exception is when they return a vector of length
1 + nlevels(x) when applied to factors, as is needed for
the percent function.
As mentioned above, they need to be used inside a named list, such as
mtcars %>%
desctable(stats = list("N" = length, "Mean" = mean, "SD" = sd)) %>%
datatable()The names will be used as column headers in the resulting table, and
the functions will be applied safely on the variables (errors return
NA, and for factors the function will be used on individual
levels).
Several convenience functions are included in this package.
percent, which prints percentages of levels in a
factorIQR, which re-implements stats::IQR but
works better with NA valuesis.normal, which tests for normality using the
following method:
length(na.omit(x)) > 30 & shapiro.test(x)$p.value > .1Be aware that all functions will be used on variables
stripped of their NA values! This is necessary for
most statistical functions to be useful, and makes N
(length) show only the number of observations in the
dataset for each variable.
It is often the case that variable names are not “pretty” enough to
be used as-is in a table.
Although you could still edit the variable labels in the table
afterwards using sub-setting or string replacement functions, we provide
a facility for this using the labels argument.
The labels argument is a named character vector
associating variable names and labels.
You don’t need to provide labels for all the variables, and extra labels
will be silently discarded. This allows you to define a “global” labels
vector and use it for multiple tables even after variable
selections.
mtlabels <- c(mpg = "Miles/(US) gallon",
cyl = "Number of cylinders",
disp = "Displacement (cu.in.)",
hp = "Gross horsepower",
drat = "Rear axle ratio",

using desctable is as easy as creating a descriptive
table.
It leverages the group_by function from
dplyr:

Please note that the statistical test functions must be given as formulas so as to capture the name of the test to display in the table. purrr style formulas are also actepted, as with the statistical functions. This also allows to specify optional arguments of such functions, and go around non-standard test functions (see Statistical test functions).
The default value for the tests argument is

The conditions are that the function
variable ~ grouping_variable) as a
first positional argument (as is the case with most tests, like
t.test), andp.value element.Several convenience function are provided: formula versions for
chisq.test and fisher.test using generic S3
methods (thus the behavior of standard calls to chisq.test
and fisher.test are not modified), and ANOVA,
a partial application of oneway.test with parameter
var.equal = T.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
