Hello!
I have a dataset with NA's in some variables (factors), for example: $
P67 : Factor w/ 2 levels "-","+": NA 2 1 NA NA 2 1 1 2 NA ...
I need to use 'xtabs' like
xtabs(~x$P67)
It works well and produces something like this:
x$P67
- +
779 1318
but i want to compute NA's too, like this:
x$P67
- + NA
779 1318 137
what about using summary instead of xtabs
summary(ostbet$delka)
159 160 NA's 5 22 3
xtabs(~ostbet$delka)
ostbet$delka 159 160 5 22
I am trying xtabs(~x$P67, exclude=NULL) but xtabs does not compute 'NA's in this case too. I do not want to transform my data (do not want to do any substitution on NA's). How i can say 'xtabs' to compute NA-values? and second question: how to use argument 'na.action' in 'xtabs'? 'xtabs' help page does not explain this. Thanks!
