Output each factor level as dummy variable in stargazer summary statistics table

Question

I\'m using the R package stargazer to create high-quality regression tables, and I would like to use it to create a summary statistics table. I have a factor variable in my

Answer 1

The package tables can be useful for this task.

library(car)
library(tables)
data(Blackmore)

# percent only:
(x <- tabular((Factor(group, "") ) ~ (Pct=Percent()) * Format(digits=4), 
    data=Blackmore))
##              
##         Pct  
## control 37.99
## patient 62.01

# percent and counts:
(x <- tabular((Factor(group, "") ) ~ ((n=1) + (Pct=Percent())) * Format(digits=4), 
    data=Blackmore))
##                      
##         n      Pct   
## control 359.00  37.99
## patient 586.00  62.01

Then it's straightforward to output this to LaTeX:

> latex(x)
\begin{tabular}{lcc}
\hline
  & n & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Pct} \\ 
\hline
control  & $359.00$ & $\phantom{0}37.99$ \\
patient  & $586.00$ & $\phantom{0}62.01$ \\
\hline 
\end{tabular}
