Generate a table collapsing frequencies of multiple variables

This function can be used to efficiently combine the frequencies of variables with the same possible values. The frequencies are collapsed into a table with the variable names as row names and the possible values as column (variable) names.

multiVarFreq(data,
             items = NULL,
             labels = NULL,
             sortByMean = TRUE)

Arguments

data	The dataframe containing the variables.
items	The variable names.
labels	Labels can be provided which will be set as row names when provided.
sortByMean	Whether to sort the rows by mean value for each variable (only sensible if the possible values are numeric).

Value

The resulting dataframe, but with class 'multiVarFreq' prepended to allow pretty printing.

Examples

multiVarFreq(mtcars, c('gear', 'carb'));
#>      1  2  3  4 5 6 8
#> carb 7 10  3 10   1 1
#> gear      15 12 5
