📋

Table 1 – Baseline Characteristics

Create journal‑style baseline summaries with clear grouping and consistent statistics.

Summarizes numeric variables as mean (SD) or median [IQR] and categorical variables as n (%), with optional group comparisons.

Example
Example: Age, BMI, SES and Sex distribution
📋

Table 1a – Categorical Variables

Table 1a serves as a summary and overview of the categorical variables in your dataset.

Its main goal is to provide a clear, at-a-glance understanding of how your sample responded to a set of questions, all of which share the same answer choices

Example
Likert scales, Yes/No symptoms, agreement scales
📋

Table 1b – Numerical Variables

Descriptive statistics for continuous/numerical variables across the full sample.

Reports central tendency (mean, median), spread (SD, IQR, min, max), and normality test p-values to characterize the distribution of each numerical variable.

Example
Age, Height, Weight, and Blood Pressure summarized with n, Mean, SD, Median, Q1, Q3, IQR, Min, Max, and Shapiro-Wilk normality
📊

Table 2 – Categorical Outcome Variable

Group comparisons of numerical and categorical variables across a binary or multi-level grouping variable.

Reports means (SD) for continuous variables and frequencies (%) for categorical variables, with group-level and total columns. Automatically selects appropriate tests — parametric/non-parametric tests for numerical variables and chi-square test for categorical variables — and displays p-values per variable.

Example
Age, BloodPressure, and HealthSat compared across Gender (Female vs Male) with total sample column, showing Mean (SD) or n (%) and p-values from t-test or chi-square respectively.
📊

Table 2a – Numeric Outcome Variable

Factors associated with a continuous outcome variable using correlation, group comparison.

For continuous predictors, reports Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and p-value. For binary grouping variables, reports Mean (SD) and Median (IQR) per group with t-test p-values. For multi-level categorical predictors, reports Mean (SD) and Median (IQR) per category with one-way ANOVA p-value. Combines all predictor types into a single unified table.

Example
Factors associated with Cholesterol — Age and BloodPressure as continuous predictors (Pearson r), Gender as binary group (t-test), and Education as multi-level categorical (ANOVA), all in one table with p-values.
📋

Table 3 – Correlation Analyses

Correlation matrix displaying pairwise relationships between numerical variables with significance indicators.

Reports Mean and SD for each variable alongside a lower-triangular correlation matrix. Displays Pearson (or Spearman) correlation coefficients with significance flagged by asterisks (* p < .05, ** p < .01, *** p < .001). Variables appear as both rows and columns with diagonal dashes and upper triangle left blank to avoid redundancy.

Example
Pairwise Pearson correlations among Age, Income, Height, Weight, BloodPressure, Cholesterol, Diabetic, Smoker, and HeartDisease (n = 100), with M and SD columns and significance stars.
📈

Regression Table

Publication-grade regression tables for linear, logistic, and Cox regression models.

Reports coefficients (B), standard errors (SE), and p-values for all predictors including reference-coded categorical variables. For logistic regression displays Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% CI; for linear regression displays Beta coefficients; for Cox regression displays Hazard Ratios (HR). Includes model fit statistics — Log-Likelihood, AIC, Pseudo R² for logistic; R², F-statistic for linear; and concordance index for Cox models. Classifier metrics (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1, AUC) are appended for logistic regression.

Example
Logistic regression predicting HeartDisease (n = 100) with Age, Gender, Education (reference: College), BloodPressure, Cholesterol, and Diabetic as predictors — reporting B, SE, OR, 95% CI, p-values, and model fit statistics including AUC = 0.81.
