How to remove the "No"/"0" factor row? about finalfit HOT 3 CLOSED

As a temporary workaround, I wrote the function collapseBinary() which takes as input a finalfit output dataframe

In:

Out:

Function:
collapseBinary = function(.data) {
emptyRows = which(.data[,2] == "0")
.data[emptyRows, 2:6] = .data[(emptyRows + 1), 2:6]
.data = .data[-(emptyRows + 1),]
replaceWithBlank = which(.data[,2] == "1")
.data[replaceWithBlank, 2] = ""
return(.data)
}

Use:
collapsedTable = tableToCollapse %>% collapseBinary()

You may have to change whatever your binary labels are, like "No" and "Yes" instead of "0" and "1"

Hope it helps until there's something more general incorporated in the function! This would also be great for the OR plots

Hi,
Many thanks for you interest and work on this. One of the advantages of the finalfit dataframe is that it can be edited on the fly. So rather than adding extra options to the original functions, I've added a quick helper function ff_remove_ref which will remove the rows for you. It should work with all flavors of regression and factor levels.

You can install the github version of finalfit to access this.

Example:

explanatory = c("age.factor", "age", "sex.factor", "nodes", "obstruct.factor", "perfor.factor")
dependent = 'mort_5yr'
colon_s %>%
	finalfit(dependent, explanatory, add_dependent_label = FALSE) %>% 
	ff_remove_ref() %>% 
	dependent_label(colon_s, dependent)

Altering the OR plot can be done in a similar manner. This isn't as straightfoward and some examples will be added to future vignettes. A new "factorlist" object is created only containing the levels of interest, which is then passed to or_plot().

Example:

colon_s %>% 
	summary_factorlist(dependent, explanatory, total_col = TRUE, fit_id=TRUE) %>% 
	ff_merge(
		glmuni(colon_s, dependent, explanatory) %>% 
			fit2df()) %>% 
	ff_remove_ref() %>% 
	select(-`OR`) -> factorlist_plot

colon_s %>% 
	or_plot(dependent, explanatory, factorlist = factorlist_plot)

ff_merge() is very flexible, and multiple columns can be added to a regression table using it. I'll pop a comment on your other post about that. Thanks again. Let me know if anything doesn't work.

That's great, thank you!
