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

\method{print}{frequency_tbl}(x, nmax = getOption("max.print.freq", default =
15), ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{vector with items, or a \code{data.frame}}
\item{...}{up to nine different columns of \code{x} to calculate frequencies from, see Examples}
\item{sort.count}{sort on count, i.e. frequencies. This will be \code{TRUE} at default for everything except for factors.}
\item{nmax}{number of row to print. The default, \code{15}, uses \code{\link{getOption}("max.print.freq")}. Use \code{nmax = 0}, \code{nmax = Inf}, \code{nmax = NULL} or \code{nmax = NA} to print all rows.}
\item{na.rm}{a logical value indicating whether \code{NA} values should be removed from the frequency table. The header will always print the amount of \code{NA}s.}
\item{row.names}{a logical value indicating whether row indices should be printed as \code{1:nrow(x)}}
\item{markdown}{print table in markdown format (this forces \code{nmax = NA})}
\item{digits}{how many significant digits are to be used for numeric values in the header (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}
\item{f}{a frequency table}
\item{n}{number of top \emph{n} items to return, use -n for the bottom \emph{n} items. It will include more than \code{n} rows if there are ties.}
}
\value{
A \code{data.frame} with an additional class \code{"frequency_tbl"}
}
\description{
Create a frequency table of a vector with items or a data frame. Supports quasiquotation and markdown for reports. \code{top_freq} can be used to get the top/bottom \emph{n} items of a frequency table, with counts as names.
}
\details{
Frequency tables (or frequency distributions) are summaries of the distribution of values in a sample. With the `freq` function, you can create univariate frequency tables. Multiple variables will be pasted into one variable, so it forces a univariate distribution. This package also has a vignette available to explain the use of this function further, run \code{browseVignettes("AMR")} to read it.
For numeric values of any class, these additional values will all be calculated with \code{na.rm = TRUE} and shown into the header:
\itemize{
\item{Mean, using \code{\link[base]{mean}}}
\item{Standard Deviation, using \code{\link[stats]{sd}}}
\item{Coefficient of Variation (CV), the standard deviation divided by the mean}
\item{Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), using \code{\link[stats]{mad}}}
\item{Tukey Five-Number Summaries (minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum), using \code{\link[stats]{fivenum}}}
\item{Interquartile Range (IQR) calculated as \code{Q3 - Q1} using the Tukey Five-Number Summaries, i.e. \strong{not} using the \code{\link[stats]{quantile}} function}
\item{Coefficient of Quartile Variation (CQV, sometimes called coefficient of dispersion), calculated as \code{(Q3 - Q1) / (Q3 + Q1)} using the Tukey Five-Number Summaries}
\item{Outliers (total count and unique count), using \code{\link[grDevices]{boxplot.stats}}}
}
For dates and times of any class, these additional values will be calculated with \code{na.rm = TRUE} and shown into the header:
\itemize{
\item{Oldest, using \code{\link{min}}}
\item{Newest, using \code{\link{max}}, with difference between newest and oldest}
\item{Median, using \code{\link[stats]{median}}, with percentage since oldest}
}
The function \code{top_freq} uses \code{\link[dplyr]{top_n}} internally and will include more than \code{n} rows if there are ties.
