Hello all,
i think i am to silly. I have installed R 1.7.1 (2003-06-16). Installed
some packages like xtables ore xml. I tried out this to installing
packages. Then i tried to make a crosstable like i know it from spss.
They say in this list that it would be going.
I made a table in asci-format, seperated with tabs or blanks and than i
use something like this:
soz<-read.table("/home/user/test.txt")
ok. that works.
than i want make a crosstables with the first and the second variable.
i tried ftable with something like that:
ftable(soz)
or
ftable(soz, col.vars = 1:2)
For me it is a quiz what the corect syntax for this is.
I want get something like this:
_______________________________________________________________
Question 1.1
What is your age?

over 20 Years 40% 40 10% 10 30% 30
________________________________________________________

Can anybody help and send me a example for the correct way and the
syntax i must use to get this? I dont understand the manual, because the
ways from r is very different to spss-syntax, i think.
Thanks, Gerhard

Once you have installed 'gregmisc' and have loaded the library [using "library(gregmisc)"], you can then use "?CrossTable" to display the help for the function with example code so that you can get a feel for the format of the output and associated options. The basic syntax for use would be: CrossTable(Var1, Var2) where Var1 will be the rows and Var2 will be the columns. If you have further questions on the use of CrossTable(), let me know.

But is the CrossTable() function in the gregmisc library what you want? -- Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
