Dear Friends. I am just starting to use R. And in this occasion I want to construct a high-dimensional contingency table, because I want to crate a mosaic plot with the vcd package. My table is in this format: a?o ac.rep cat.gru conteos 1 2005 R parejas 253 2 2005 N parejas 23 3 2006 R parejas 347 4 2006 N parejas 39 5 2007 R parejas 266 6 2007 N parejas 83 7 2005 R solitarios 53 8 2005 N solitarios 1 9 2006 R solitarios 109 10 2006 N solitarios 8 11 2007 R solitarios 85 12 2007 N solitarios 34 13 2005 R trios 29 14 2005 N trios 1 15 2006 R trios 62 16 2006 N trios 19 17 2007 R trios 48 18 2007 N trios 3 How can I do this? I saw the help of the "mosaic" command, and I found that the files are like a hig-dimensional contingency table (for example "Tytanic" data), but I was unable to do the change.
mosaic's help page says you need to supply a data.frame or a contingency table. Given that you do not have separate records for each individual, but rather have counts in the last column, you can use xtabs to create a table object. Note the help page of xtabs says: ## xtabs() <-> as.data.frame.table() You need to tell xtabs which column has the counts. xtabs(conteos ~.,dta) mosaic( cat.gru ~a?o, data = xtabs( conteos ~., dta))
