descriptio 1.5 (2025-09-08)

new functions

• agg.wtd.mean() : aggregated weighted mean
• agg.wtd.var() : aggregated weighted variance
• agg.wtd.quantile() : aggregated weighted quantile
• agg.wtd.mad() : aggregated weighted MAD

descriptio 1.4.2

bug fix

• weighted.cramer(), assoc.twocat() and assoc.twocat() : bug fix when weights are not normalized (thanks to @MathieuFerry)
• assoc.twocat() : bug fix with weights (thanks to @MathieuFerry)

descriptio 1.4.1 (2025-05-29)

bug fix

• regtab() : several bug fixes

descriptio 1.4 (2025-05-21)

new functions

• crosstab() : Displays pretty 2, 3 or 4-way cross-tabulations, from possibly weighted data, and with the opportunity to color the cells of the table according to a local measure of association (phi coefficients, standardized residuals or PEM).
• cattab() : Bivariate statistics between a categorical variable and a set of variables
• contab() : Bivariate statistics between a continuous variable and a set of variables
• regtab() : Univariate and multivariate regressions and their average marginal effects side-by-side
• weighted.cramer() : Cramer's V measure of association between two (possibly weighted) categorical variables
• stdres.table() : Standardized and adjusted residuals of a (possibly weighted) contingency table

minor changes

• all functions concerned : changed default NA level from "NA" to "NAs"
• all functions concerned : when na.rm = FALSE, a level for NAs is added only if there are NAs
• all functions concerned : empty levels are not automatically removed

bug fix

• profiles() : bug fix when stat = "cprop" and mar = TRUE

descriptio 1.3 (2024-03-07)

new functions

• assoc.xx() : Bivariate association measures between pairs of variables
• assoc.twocat.by() : Groupwise version of assoc.twocat()
• assoc.twocont.by() : Groupwise version of assoc.twocont()
• assoc.catcont.by() : Groupwise version of assoc.catcont()
• profiles() : Profiles by level of a categorical variable

descriptio 1.2 (2023-10-05)

changes in existing functions

• assoc.catcont() : new items in the results (summary statistics, test-values)
• assoc.twocat() : new item in the results (p-values of adjusted standardized residuals)
• ggassoc_marimekko() : y axis labels are now horizontal
• condesc() and catdesc() : labels of the results have been renamed ; dec argument is replaced by digits and simplified ; permutation p-values can be provided for variables and categories

descriptio 1.1 (2023-03-30)

new functions

• weighted.cor2() : weighted correlations between the columns of a data frame
• weighted.cov() : weighted covariance
• weighted.cov2() : weighted covariances between the columns of a data frame

minor changes

• ggpattern package moved from Imports to Suggests

descriptio 1.0 (2023-02-23)

Many functions in descriptio are imported from GDAtools (1.8), with some changes and improvements, among which the main ones are :

• Every function handles weights
• Every function handles NA values
• A few function and argument name changes
