The surveytable package provides short and understandable commands that generate tabulated, formatted, and rounded survey estimates. One useful function, which operates on categorical and logical variables, tabulates estimated counts and percentages with their standard errors and confidence intervals. Other functions estimate the total population, tabulate survey subsets and variable interactions, tabulate numeric variables, perform hypothesis tests, tabulate rates, modify survey variables, and save the output. All of the tabulation functions identify low-precision estimates using algorithms developed at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). If the surveytable code is called from an R Markdown notebook, it automatically generates HTML or LaTeX tables, as appropriate. The package reduces the number of commands that users need to execute, which is especially helpful for users new to R or to programming.
