Overview

About

Maintained by Joe ZhuCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG

Reporting tables often have structure that goes beyond simple rectangular data. The 'rtables' package provides a framework for declaring complex multi-level tabulations and then applying them to data. This framework models both tabulation and the resulting tables as hierarchical, tree-like objects which support sibling sub-tables, arbitrary splitting or grouping of data in row and column dimensions, cells containing multiple values, and the concept of contextual summary computations. A convenient pipe-able interface is provided for declaring table layouts and the corresponding computations, and then applying them to data.

Changes in 0.6.17

New Features

Added restrict_facets function factory for use with make_split_fun @gmbecker
Exported previously internal make_subset_expr for use when constructing custom splitting behavior
Exported previously internal splv_extra and splv_extra<- accessors for getting and setting child-specific extra arguments on SplitValue objects.
Exported previously internal value_expr accessor for retrieving the subsetting expression from a SplitValue or ValueWrapper object.
The .alt_df* family of afun arguments now receive subsets of df when alt_counts_df is not specified in the build_table call; previously resulted in an error.
Exported previously internal RefFootnote constructor for reference footnote objects.
Added accessor methods for RowsVerticalSection objects: row_cells, obj_format, obj_format<-, obj_na_str, obj_na_str<-, cell_values
Added c method for directly combining RowsVerticalSection objects
Added vignette: Guided Tour (Advanced) @gmbecker
Added vignette: Guided Tour (Advanced) - Custom Analysis And Summary Functions @gmbecker
Added vignette: Guided Tour (Advanced) - Analysis Functions - Split Context @gmbecker

Added vignette: Guided Tour (Advanced) - (stub) TableTree Objects - (stub) Custom Pruning Functions @gmbecker
Added at_sibling parameter to split_rows_by* and analyze functions, enabling placement of a new layout directive as a direct sibling of a previously declared split or analysis @gmbecker
Added get_anchor_list() function for inspecting the available sibling anchors in an existing layout @gmbecker
label_pos now accepts "default" as a value, which resolves to "visible" when at_sibling is non-NULL and "hidden" otherwise @gmbecker

Bug Fixes

indent_mod<- RowsVerticalSection method now correctly recycles length 1 values @gmbecker
Fixed uniqify_child_names emitting messages ending in a literal FALSE due to passing call. = FALSE to message(), which does not accept that argument @gmbecker
content functions now receive correct .ref_group value instead of a data.frame with zero rows, when requested. #1117 @gmbecker
Fix in the now exported RefFootnote in check for disallowed values in symbol argument

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("rtables", 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("pharmaverse/rtables")

Development version from pharmaverse/rtables. 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-rtables

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-rtables

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-rtables

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.
