Problem with numeric variable

[aquintela]

Hi,
I am using your package
I have a problema running
explanatory = c("x")
dependent = 'mort_5yr'
colon_s %>%
summary_factorlist(dependent, explanatory,
p=TRUE, add_dependent_label=TRUE)
if I use a numeric variable "x" with less than 6 values, the variable is considered as factor, and the test is a Chi-square, not a t-test

can you help me, please?

thank you very much in advance for your attention, and for your great package!

Thank you! This is intended behaviour rather than a bug. 5 or fewer values in a variable is automatically converted to a factor. If you think it would be useful to alter this, let me know and I’ll make it optional. Thank again. Ewen

Actually, we have some variables that can take ten values, but, finally, we only have 4 values. Anyway, we need to check if there exist mean differences using a t-test. I think that it would be interesting that the user could be select the minimal values for a factor.

Thank you very much for your help!

This is now available in 0.8.8 Github version. Will go to CRAN soon.

devtools::install_github("ewenharrison/finalfit")
dependent = "mort_5yr"
explanatory = "sex"
colon_s %>% 
	summary_factorlist(dependent, explanatory)
colon_s %>% 
	summary_factorlist(dependent, explanatory, cont_cut = 0)

I have just installed the last versión. It Works fine!

Thank you very much. Great Job!

Reopening this. cont_cut works great with summary_factorlist, but doesn't appear to work with finalfit. Can it?
