Burt Table — burt • dimensio

Computes the burt table of a factor table.

Usage

burt(object, ...)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
burt(object, exclude = NULL, abbrev = TRUE)

Arguments

object: A data.frame.
...: Currently not used.
exclude: A vector of values to be excluded when forming the set of levels (see factor()). If NULL (the default), will make NA an extra level.
abbrev: A logical scalar: should the column names be abbreviated? If FALSE, these are of the form 'factor_level' but if abbrev = TRUE they are just 'level' which will suffice if the factors have distinct levels.

Value

Examples

## Create a factor table
x <- data.frame(
  A = c("a", "b", "a"),
  B = c("x", "y", "z")
)

## Complete disjunctive table
cdt(x)
#>      a b x y z
#> [1,] 1 0 1 0 0
#> [2,] 0 1 0 1 0
#> [3,] 1 0 0 0 1

## Burt table
burt(x)
#>   a b x y z
#> a 2 0 1 0 1
#> b 0 1 0 1 0
#> x 1 0 1 0 0
#> y 0 1 0 1 0
#> z 1 0 0 0 1
