Description

Build Common Tables of Summary Statistics for Reports.

Mainly used to build tables that are commonly presented for bio-medical/health research, such as basic characteristic tables or descriptive statistics.

The main goal of carpenter to simplify making those pesky descriptive/basic characteristic tables often used in biomedical journal articles. It was designed to work well within the tidyverse ecosystem, e.g. relying on using pipes to chain functions together or having multiple, dedicated functions to use (rather than a monolithic one with lots of arguments).

Installation

This package is on CRAN, so install using:

install.packages('carpenter')

For the developmental version, install from GitHub:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github('lwjohnst86/carpenter')

Example usage

Here is an example workflow for making tables:

library(carpenter)
outline_table(iris, 'Species') %>% 
    add_rows('Sepal.Length', stat_meanSD) %>%
    add_rows('Petal.Length', stat_meanSD) %>%
    add_rows('Sepal.Width', stat_medianIQR) %>% 
    build_table() 
Variablessetosaversicolorvirginica
Sepal.Length5.0 (0.4)5.9 (0.5)6.6 (0.6)
Petal.Length1.5 (0.2)4.3 (0.5)5.6 (0.6)
Sepal.Width3.4 (3.2-3.7)2.8 (2.5-3.0)3.0 (2.8-3.2)

Resources

There are several packages out there that help with making tables. Most of them work to output and customize the tables into a given format, for instance markdown or html, but assume the data is in the form you already want to present it in. So they don’t help with getting the data into the form of a table (in the context of descriptive/basic characteristic tables often seen in biomedical research). Even still, they are very useful to look over and learn about!
