asdocx table1: Report a single statistic
The table1 template of asdocx reports statistics in pairs in the format of firstStat (secondStat). The default statistics for each type of variables are given below:
(1) Binary variables : Count (Percentages)
(2) Categorical variables : Count (Percentages)
(3) Continuous variables : Mean (95% confidence interval)
We can choose to report just a single statistic by using factor(), continuous(), or binary() options. These options are used specify the preferred statistics, either in pair or single. Therefore, when invoke factor(count %), we tell asdocx to report the pair of frequency counts and percentages. And when we invoke factor(%) or factor(count), we tell asdocx to report a single statistic.
Specify two statistics
Let’s start with reporting a pair of two statistics for the categorical variable agegrp . Note the option factor(count %), I used it here just to show how this option can be used. Even if we do not use it, the default for factor variables is to report counts and percentages in pairs (The percentages are cell percentages. See how to report row and column percentages).

Specify one statistics – counts
To report just counts, we shall use factor(count) option.
