set_opts() sets certain package options. To view these options, use show_opts(). For more advanced control and detailed customization, experienced users can also employ options() and show_options() (refer to surveytable-options for further information).

Usage

set_opts(
  reset = NULL,
  mode = NULL,
  adj = NULL,
  output = NULL,
  file = NULL,
  .file_temp = NULL,
  count = NULL,
  lpe = NULL,
  drop_na = NULL,
  max_levels = NULL
)

show_opts()

Arguments

reset

reset all options to their default values?

mode

"general" or "NCHS". See below for details.

adj

adjustment to the Korn and Graubard confidence intervals for proportions. See svyciprop_adjusted() for details.

output

specify how the output is printed: "auto" (default); "huxtable", "gt", or "kableExtra"; "raw"; "Excel" or "CSV". If output is "Excel" or "CSV", must also specify file. If output is "Excel", be sure to install openxlsx2 and mschart.

file

file name (see output).

.file_temp

place file in a temporary folder?

count

round counts to the nearest integer ("int") or one thousand ("1k").

lpe

identify low-precision estimates?

drop_na

drop missing values (NA)? Categorical variables only.

max_levels

a categorical variable can have at most this many levels. Used to avoid printing huge tables.

Value

(Nothing.)

Details

If you are not setting a particular option, leave it as NULL.

mode can be either "general" or "NCHS" and has the following meaning:

  • "general":

    • Round counts to the nearest integer – same as count = "int".

    • Do not look for low-precision estimates – same as lpe = FALSE.

    • Percentage CI's: use standard Korn-Graubard CI's – same as adj = "none".

  • "nchs":

    • Round counts to the nearest 1,000 – same as count = "1k".

    • Identify low-precision estimates – same as lpe = TRUE.

    • Percentage CI's: adjust Korn-Graubard CI's for the number of degrees of freedom, matching the SUDAAN calculation – same as adj = "nchs". This is appropriate for some, but not all, NCHS data systems. For some NCHS data systems, such as NHIS, you might need to set adj to one of the other values.

adj specifies the adjustment to the Korn and Graubard confidence intervals for proportions. See svyciprop_adjusted() for details.

output determines how the output is printed:

  • "auto" (default): automatically select the table-making package, depending on the destination (such as screen, HTML, or PDF / LaTeX).

  • "huxtable", "gt", or "kableExtra": use this table-making package. Be sure that this package is installed.

  • "raw": unformatted / raw output. This is useful for getting lots of significant digits.

  • "Excel": print to an Excel workbook. Please specify the name of an Excel file using the file argument. Before using Excel printing, please be sure to install these packages: openxlsx2 and mschart.

  • "CSV": print to a comma-separated values (CSV) file. Please specify the name of a CSV file using the file argument.
