I have a dataframe with the following variables:
idnum area gender race etc.
I would like to make a table that looks like
area gender race
M F B W A
1 4 5 3 5 1
2 6 7 4 6 3
etc.
Basically, I want to make a single broad table with a number of sub-set
tables. I have tried:
cbind(table(area, gender), table(area, race))
But, when I do this, I lose the labels gender / race. This makes it a
lot harder to understand my factor labels. when I use cbind, I get this:
M F B W A
1 4 5 3 5 1
2 6 7 4 6 3
Although, it is technically correct, I really want to keep my factor
labels. I also tried this with xtabs and get the same results. Any
ideas? I saw a relatively recent thread asking a similar question, but
the proposed solution did not work for me, so I thought I would ask the
questions again.
If I am missing someting terribly obvious, I apologize.
thanks.
