utile.tools

Overview

Tools for preparing and summarizing data for publication purposes. Includes functions for tabulating models, producing human-readable summary statistics from raw data, macros for calculating duration of time, and simplistic hypothesis testing tools.

Verbs

Paste

• paste() & paste0: The base functions with an added 'na.rm' parameter for nested NA removal. Default function behavior is identical to base counterparts.
• paste_freq(): Pastes a human-readable frequency from count(able) data. Handily has methods for several types of data.
• paste_median(): Pastes a human-readable median with inter-quartile range from numeric data.
• paste_mean(): Pastes a human-readable mean with standard deviation from numeric data.
• paste_efs(): Pastes a human-readable event-free-survival from a survfit object and a specified time point.

Calc

• calc_duration(): Calculates the duration of time between two provided date objects. Essentially a macro of lubridate:: functions with extra logic built in.
• calc_chunks(): Calculates mapped "chunk" indices for a data object given a specified chunk size (e.g. number of rows in a tibble).

Test

• test_hypothesis(): Retrieves a p-value from null hypothesis testing of stratified continuous or categorical data. Provides parametric and non-parametric testing options (see docs).

Chunk

• chunk_data_(): Creates a factory function which returns chunks of a given data object (table, vector) with successive function calls.
