Reporting Tables with R

The rtables R package was designed to create and display complex tables with R. The cells in an rtable may contain any high-dimensional data structure which can then be displayed with cell-specific formatting instructions. Currently, rtables can be outputted in ascii html, and pdf, as well Power Point (via conversion to flextable objects). rtf support is in development and will be in a future release.

rtables is developed and copy written by F. Hoffmann-La Roche and it is released open source under Apache License Version 2.

rtables development is driven by the need to create regulatory ready tables for health authority review. Some of the key requirements for this undertaking are listed below:

rtables currently covers virtually all of these requirements, and further advances remain under active development.

Installation

rtables is available on CRAN and you can install the latest released version with:

install.packages("rtables")

or you can install the latest development version directly from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("insightsengineering/rtables")

Packaged releases (both those on CRAN and those between official CRAN releases) can be found in the releases list.

To understand how to use this package, please refer to the Introduction to rtables article, which provides multiple examples of code implementation.

Usage

We first demonstrate with a demographic table-like example and then show the creation of a more complex table.

library(rtables)

lyt <- basic_table() %>%
  split_cols_by("ARM") %>%
  analyze(c("AGE", "BMRKR1", "BMRKR2"), function(x, ...) {
    if (is.numeric(x)) {
      in_rows(
        "Mean (sd)" = c(mean(x), sd(x)),
        "Median" = median(x),
        "Min - Max" = range(x),
        .formats = c("xx.xx (xx.xx)", "xx.xx", "xx.xx - xx.xx")
      )
    } else if (is.factor(x) || is.character(x)) {
      in_rows(.list = list_wrap_x(table)(x))
    } else {
      stop("type not supported")
    }
  })
