tabulate: switching columns and rows
Hi Ricardo,
Please, is there any way of controlling factors in row/columns when using ftable/xtabs? As far as I can see, the last cross-clasifing variable in the formula will appear in columns. The previous ones, in rows. For instance, is it possible to make tension and replicate appear in columns? ftable(xtabs(breaks ~ wool + tension + replicate, data = warpbreaks)) After some years using SAS proc tabulate I am afraid I don't get the point with R and cross-tabulation :-(
You might want to have a look at the reshape package, http://had.co.nz/reshape, which provides a more general and flexible framework for reshaping data in R. The version of warpbreaks I have doesn't have the replicate variable, so unfortunately I can't provide you with example code for this case. However, you should be able to figure it out for your data using the documentation available on the website. Regards, Hadley
