Crosstab with multiple items
- by Michael Wexler
In SPSS, it is (relatively) easy to create a cross tab with multiple variables using the factors as the table heading. So, something like the following (made up data, etc.). Q1, Q2, and Q3 each have either a 1, a 2, or a 3 for each person.
1 (very Often) 2 (Rarely) 3 (Never)
Q1. Likes it 12 15 13
Q2. Recommends it 22 11 10
Q3. Used it 22 12 9
In SPSS, one can even request row, column, or total percentages.
I've tried table(), ftable(), xtab(), CrossTable() from gmodels, and CrossTable() from descr, and none of these can handle (afaik) multiple variables; they mostly seem to handle 1 variable crossed with another variable, and the 3rd creates layers.
Is there a package with some good cross tabbing/table examples that I could use to figure this out? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, so I appreciate you pointing out what I missed. Perhaps I have to generate each row as a separate list and then make a dataframe and print the dataframe?
