prop.table               package:base               R Documentation

Express table entries as fraction of marginal table

Description:

     This is really `sweep(x, margin, margin.table(x, margin), "/")'
     for newbies, except that if `margin' has length zero, then one
     gets `x/sum(x)'.

Usage:

     prop.table(x, margin=NULL)

Arguments:

       x: table 

  margin: index, or vector of indices to generate margin for

Value:

     Table like `x' expressed relative to `margin'
