Custom split functions

[Stable]

Collection of useful functions that are expanding on the core list of functions provided by rtables. See rtables::custom_split_funs and rtables::make_split_fun() for more information on how to make a custom split function. All these functions work with split_rows_by() argument split_fun to modify the way the split happens. For other split functions, consider consulting rtables::split_funcs.

Usage 

ref_group_position(position = "first")

level_order(order)

Arguments

position

(string or integer)
position to use for the reference group facet. Can be "first", "last", or a specific position.

order

(character or numeric)
vector of ordering indices for the split facets.

Value

  • ref_group_position() returns an utility function that puts the reference group as first, last or at a certain position and needs to be assigned to split_fun.

  • level_order() returns an utility function that changes the original levels' order, depending on input order and split levels.

Functions

  • ref_group_position(): Split function to place reference group facet at a specific position during post-processing stage.

  • level_order(): Split function to change level order based on an integer vector or a character vector that represent the split variable's factor levels.

  x = factor(letters[1:5], levels = letters[5:1]),
  y = 1:5
)
