summary.proportion.count Function (GPL)

Syntax

summary.proportion.count(<algebra>, <base function>)

or 

summary.proportion.count(<binning function>, <base function>)

or 

summary.proportion.count(<statistic function>, <base function>)

<algebra>. Graph algebra, such as x or x*y. In the second case, the proportion is calculated for cases with non-missing y-variable values. Refer to Brief Overview of GPL Algebra for an introduction to graph algebra.

<base function>. A function that specifies the percentage base for summary.proportion.count. This is optional. The default is base.all().

<binning function>. A binning function.

<statistic function>. Another statistic function. The result of the embedded statistic is used to calculate summary.proportion.count.

Description

Calculates the proportion of cases within each subgroup compared to the total number of cases. This function is similar to summary.percent.count except it reports a value between 0 and 1 instead of 0 and 100.
