Create report

This function creates a data profiling report.

create_report(
  data,
  output_format = html_document(toc = TRUE, toc_depth = 6, theme = "yeti"),
  output_file = "report.html",
  output_dir = getwd(),
  y = NULL,
  config = configure_report(),
  report_title = "Data Profiling Report",
  ...
)

Arguments

data	input data
output_format	output format in render. Default is html_document(toc = TRUE, toc_depth = 6, theme = "yeti").
output_file	output file name in render. Default is "report.html".
output_dir	output directory for report in render. Default is user's current directory.
y	name of response variable if any. Response variables will be passed to appropriate plotting functions automatically.
config	report configuration generated by configure_report.
report_title	report title. Default is "Data Profiling Report".
...	other arguments to be passed to render.

Details

config is a named list to be evaluated by create_report. Each name should exactly match a function name. By doing so, that function and corresponding content will be added to the report. If you do not want to include certain functions/content, do not add it to config.

configure_report generates the default template. You may customize the content using that function.

All function arguments will be passed to do.call as a list.

Note

If both y and plot_prcomp are present, y will be removed from plot_prcomp.

If there are multiple options for the same function, all of them will be plotted. For example, create_report(..., y = "a", config = list("plot_bar" = list("with" = "b"))) will create 3 bar charts:

• regular frequency bar chart

• bar chart aggregated by response variable "a"

• bar chart aggregated by `with` variable "b"`
