Hi- the first two links in the ‘Learn More’ section don’t work or exist anymore. Thanks, Gaurav
Thanks! I updated one deleted the other, which doesn’t appear to exist anymore.
Thanks David- this package (summarytools) has turned out to be one of the most powerful tools I have ever used in R. I have been struggling with using ‘weights’ for analysing survey data in R and recently came across the ‘pollster’ package. summarytools can do far more than pollster can and brings R almost at par with what STATA in terms of comprehensive summary stats by with or without incorporating weights.
Glad it’s so helpful!
Hello – library(summarytools) will not run for me. The error message: Error in library(summarytools) :
there is no package called ‘summarytools’
Have you installed the summarytools package? If not, you’ll need to do that first and then rerun your code.
