Overview

About

Maintained by Laure CougnaudCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Creation of tables of summary statistics or counts for clinical data (for 'TLFs'). These tables can be exported as in-text table (with the 'flextable' package) for a Clinical Study Report (Word format) or a 'topline' presentation (PowerPoint format), or as interactive table (with the 'DT' package) to an html document for clinical data review.

Changes in 3.4.0

'stats':
support 'stats' as a character vector of length > 1
add 'Geometric Mean' and 'Geometric SD'
support column widths as percentage or for a subset of the columns
column header:
fix in case more row variables than column groups
top vertical alignment (not centered)
fix: no replicated row header when total included for a subset of the row variables
vignettes: number and fix link for CRAN

From inst/NEWS in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("inTextSummaryTable", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("openanalytics/inTextSummaryTable")

Development version from openanalytics/inTextSummaryTable. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-intextsummarytable

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-inTextSummaryTable

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-inTextSummaryTable

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
