Create Table of Percentages in R (Example Code)
In this post you’ll learn how to calculate percentage shares of each value in a vector in the R programming language.
Creation of Example Data
set.seed(9843576) # Creating example vector in R my_values <- sample(1:5, 200, replace = TRUE) head(my_values) # Show first values of example vector in RStudio console # [1] 3 1 3 1 2 3 |
set.seed(9843576) # Creating example vector in R my_values <- sample(1:5, 200, replace = TRUE) head(my_values) # Show first values of example vector in RStudio console # [1] 3 1 3 1 2 3
Example: Calculate Percentages in R Using table() & length() Functions
table(my_values) * 100 / length(my_values) # Calculate percentages # my_values # 1 2 3 4 5 # 14.0 19.5 23.0 21.5 22.0 |
table(my_values) * 100 / length(my_values) # Calculate percentages # my_values # 1 2 3 4 5 # 14.0 19.5 23.0 21.5 22.0
