# Survey table: formatted survey estimates



`surveytable` is an R package for conveniently tabulating estimates from **complex surveys**.



* If you deal with survey objects in R (created with `survey::svydesign()`), then this package is for you.

* Works with **complex surveys** (data systems that involve survey design variables, like weights and strata).

* Works with **unweighted** data as well.



* The `surveytable` package provides short and understandable commands that generate tabulated, formatted, and rounded survey estimates. 

* With `surveytable`, you can

  * tabulate estimated counts and percentages, with their standard errors and confidence intervals,

  * estimate the total population, 

  * tabulate survey subsets and variable interactions, 

  * tabulate numeric variables, 

  * perform hypothesis tests, 

  * tabulate rates, 

  * modify survey variables, and 

  * save the output. 



* Optionally, all of the tabulation functions can identify low-precision estimates using the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) algorithms (or other algorithms). 

* If the `surveytable` code is called from an R Markdown notebook or a Quarto document, it automatically generates HTML or LaTeX tables, as appropriate. 

* The package reduces the number of commands that users need to execute, which is especially helpful for users new to R or to programming.



## Installation



Install from CRAN:



``` r

install.packages("surveytable")

```

or get the development version from GitHub:



``` r

install.packages(c("remotes", "git2r"))

remotes::install_github("CDCgov/surveytable", upgrade = "never")

```



## Documentation



Find the documentation for `surveytable` here: https://cdcgov.github.io/surveytable/



## Example



Here is a basic example, to get you started. 



1. Load the package:



```{r, message=FALSE}

library(surveytable)

```



2. Specify the survey that you wish you analyze. `surveytable` comes with a survey called `namcs2019sv`, for use in examples. 



```{r, results='asis'}

set_survey(namcs2019sv)

```



3. Specify the variable to analyze. In NAMCS, `AGER` is the age category variable:



```{r, results='asis'}

tab("AGER")

```



The table shows:



* Descriptive variable name

* Survey name

* For each level of the variable:

  * Number of observations

  * Estimated count with its SE and 95% CI

  * Estimated percentage with its SE and 95% CI

* Sample size

* Optionally, the table can show whether any low-precision estimates were found
