Arguments

fct: (factor)
the variable with levels which needs to be grouped.
ref: (string)
the reference level(s).
collapse: (string)
a character string to separate fct and ref.

Value

A list with first item ref (reference) and second item trt (treatment).

Examples

groups <- combine_groups(
  fct = DM$ARM,
  ref = c("B: Placebo")
)

basic_table() %>%
  split_cols_by_groups("ARM", groups) %>%
  add_colcounts() %>%
  summarize_vars("AGE") %>%
  build_table(DM)
