Exploration

Besides gtsummary, there are other packages that can help with tables and customizing them (particularly for html, but also if you want to output to Word or LaTeX)

• {modelsummary}: a package that can create tables from model objects, and works with a lot of formats
• {sjPlot}: has a function to create tables from model objects (along with visualization tools)
• {gt}: html table package that {gtsummary} uses under the hood
• {kableExtra}: great for html tables, but also helpful for LaTeX pdfs
• {flextable}: great for Word (and Powerpoint!) tables, but also works with other formats
• {huxtable}: another package for Word and LaTeX tables, but also works with html

Excercise

Choose one of these to explore. Depending on your confidence, choose the same package as your neighbor (to go through it together) or a different one (and then share what you learn). Each package will have sample data that works with their examples. Install the package, and then work through some examples. Practice changing some arguments. Then try it on the NLSY data. Save your code in a new file, commit, and push!
