Greetings. I'm having some trouble constructing a contingency table from
raw data (actually read in via RPgSQL). Here's the deal:
- What I've got: a data frame in the form:
Groupcode code1 code2 code3 code4 code5 .. coden
where groupcode is one of {P,C,B,S,U,X} and code{1..n} is TRUE or
FALSE. code{1..n} are NOT mutually exclusive, so between 0 and n of them
can be TRUE.
- What I need: a contingency table in the form:
Groupcode code1 code2 .. coden
P
C
B
S
U
X
with each cell in the table being a count of TRUE values where groupcode
is the corresponding groupcode.
The table will eventually be analyzed using chisq.test.
I've tried using table() but It's not immediately clear how to include
values from two or more variables in a data frame.
Many thanks.
