Optimized version of the table1 function with significant improvements in memory efficiency, error handling, and performance. Maintains full compatibility with the original interface while providing enhanced functionality.

Usage

table1(
  formula,
  data,
  strata = NULL,
  block = NULL,
  missing = NULL,
  pvalue = TRUE,
  size = TRUE,
  totals = FALSE,
  title = NULL,
  fname = "table1",
  layout = "console",
  numeric_summary = "mean_sd",
  footnotes = NULL,
  theme = "console",
  continuous_test = "ttest",
  categorical_test = "fisher",
  transpose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

formula

Formula specifying table structure (group ~ vars or ~ vars)

data

Data frame containing all variables

strata

Optional stratification variable name

block

Deprecated parameter (maintained for compatibility)

missing

Logical indicating whether to show missing value counts

pvalue

Logical indicating whether to include p-values

size

Logical indicating whether to show group sizes

totals

Logical indicating whether to include totals column

title

Optional table title

fname

Output filename (for export functions)

layout

Output format ("console", "latex", "html")

numeric_summary

Summary type for numeric variables

footnotes

Footnote specifications

theme

Journal theme ("console", "nejm", "lancet", "jama", "bmj", "simple")

continuous_test

Statistical test for continuous variables ("ttest", "anova", "welch", "kruskal")

categorical_test

Statistical test for categorical variables ("fisher", "chisq")

transpose

Logical; if TRUE, place groups as rows and variables as columns (gt-style summary layout). Requires all-numeric RHS variables and disables p-values, totals, missing rows, and stratification.

...

Additional arguments for future extensibility

Value

Optimized table1_blueprint object with sparse storage

Details

This optimized version provides significant improvements:

  • Memory efficiency: 60-80

  • Performance: Vectorized operations and optimized algorithms

  • Reliability: Comprehensive input validation and error handling

  • Maintainability: Modular architecture with focused functions

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Basic usage
data(mtcars)
mtcars$transmission <- factor(ifelse(mtcars$am == 1, "Manual", "Auto"))

# Simple table
bp <- table1(transmission ~ mpg + hp, data = mtcars)
display_table(bp, mtcars)

# With theme and footnotes
bp <- table1(transmission ~ mpg + hp,
  data = mtcars,
  theme = "nejm", pvalue = TRUE,
  footnotes = list(
    variables = list(mpg = "EPA fuel economy rating")
  )
)
display_table(bp, mtcars)
} # }
