One of the various tabulation functions would seem to be the most
appropriate for getting frequency summaries:
?table
?xtabs

Hello helpers,
This is probably quite simple, but I'm stuck.
I want to create a summary statistics table with frequencies and
summary
statistics for a large number of variables. The problem here is that
(1)
there are two different classes of categories (sex, type of
substance abuse
and type of treatent) which overlap, (2) the data for different
variables
should be presented in different ways -- sometimes with relative
frequencies, other times with mean values.
The table would finally look something like:
All Male Female Alcohol Drug ...
Age (mean) (mean) ...
Sex (% male) (freq) (freq) ...
Alcohol CS (mean) (mean) ...
... ...
Data is in a data frame with quite a lot of columns (variables) and
each row
represents a single case.
I have found out that part of this can be done with tapply, for
example
tapply(age, sex, mean) and join it with tapply(age, abuse, mean).
But how to
do with frequencies? Or is there an even simpler way?
