Descriptive table (Table 1)

Shown in the app as table_one_full. Part of the method reference, under Descriptive.

When to use

Describe the whole dataset: every variable summarised on its own terms (median [Q1, Q3] or mean (SD), chosen per variable), counts with confidence intervals for proportions, and a missingness row - optionally split by one grouping variable. No hypothesis is tested.

What you provide

Group (optional): one categorical column.

Options

Missing data

Complete case (listwise deletion)

Multiple comparisons

Holm
Benjamini-Hochberg (false discovery rate)
Bonferroni
None (unadjusted)
