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)
Worked example
Celeus's result on a published or illustrative dataset, next to an independent computation and, where one exists, a published value. The data themselves are not reproduced here.
