\usage{
freq(x, sort.count = TRUE, nmax = getOption("max.print.freq"),
  na.rm = TRUE, markdown = FALSE, as.data.frame = FALSE, digits = 2,
  sep = " ")

frequency_tbl(x, sort.count = TRUE, nmax = getOption("max.print.freq"),
  na.rm = TRUE, markdown = FALSE, as.data.frame = FALSE, digits = 2,
  sep = " ")
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{data}

\item{sort.count}{Sort on count. Use \code{FALSE} to sort alphabetically on item.}

\item{nmax}{number of row to print. The default, \code{15}, uses \code{\link[base]{getOption}("max.print.freq")}. Use \code{nmax = 0} or \code{nmax = NA} to print all rows.}

\item{na.rm}{a logical value indicating whether NA values should be removed from the frequency table. The header will always print the amount of \code{NA}s.}

\item{markdown}{print table in markdown format (this forces \code{nmax = NA})}

\item{as.data.frame}{return frequency table without header as a \code{data.frame} (e.g. to assign the table to an object)}

\item{digits}{how many significant digits are to be used for numeric values (not for the items themselves, that depends on \code{\link{getOption}("digits")})}

\item{sep}{a character string to separate the terms when selecting multiple columns}
}
\description{
Create a frequency table of a vector of data, a single column or a maximum of 9 columns of a data frame. Supports markdown for reports.
}
\details{
For numeric values, the next values will be calculated and shown into the header:
\itemize{
  \item{Mean, using \code{\link[base]{mean}}}
  \item{Standard deviation, using \code{\link[stats]{sd}}}
  \item{Five numbers of Tukey (min, Q1, median, Q3, max), using \code{\link[stats]{fivenum}}}
  \item{Outliers (total count and unique count), using \code{\link{boxplot.stats}}}
  \item{Coefficient of variation (CV), the standard deviation divided by the mean}
  \item{Coefficient of quartile variation (CQV, sometimes called coefficient of dispersion), calculated as \code{(Q3 - Q1) / (Q3 + Q1)} using \code{\link{quantile}} with \code{type = 6} as quantile algorithm to comply with SPSS standards}
}

library(dplyr)
