Hello altogether,

thanks for the great work with this package. I previously used the "table1" package, now i am switching to this one because of the latex output.

Is there any chance, to get this package produce Media/Range outputs like in the screenshot? I have searched through all the documentation, but did not find any option.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for using the compareGroups package.

By compareGroups functions it is not possible to report mean, median and missing values at the same time of a numeric continous variable. But it is possible to report median [minimum; maximum] by specifying method=2, Q1=0 and Q3=1 arguments from compareGroups or descrTable functions. By method=2 you are indicating that all numeric-continuous variables are treated as non-normal distributed variable and median [Q1; Q3] is reported instead of mean (SD). If you want a particular variable, e.g. tryglicerides to be treated as non-normal, type method=c("tryglic"=2).

I hope this helps.

Regards, Isaac.
