This isn't something that the package is designed to handle: if you say
p*a, it wants all combinations of p and a.
To your knowledge is there another 'complex tables' package that could
achieve this?
tables can now.
If I wanted a table like that, I'd use a different hack. One possibility is
to create that interaction column, but display it as just the initial
letter, labelled p, and then add another column to contain the a values as
data. It would be tricky to get the formatting right.
Another possibility is to generate the whole table with the N=0 rows, and
then post-process it to remove those rows, and adjust the row labels
appropriately. This approach probably gives the nicer result, but the
post-processing is quite messy: you need to delete some rows from the
table, from its rowLabels attribute, and from the justification attributes
of both the table and its rowLabels. (I should add a [ method to the
package to hide this messiness.)
I think a subsetting method would be useful, indeed.
A third hack is less of a hack: don't do that. Just format the mean and sd
in a way that displays the NA and NaN values as blanks.
I think this could work, at least for unofficial displays of the
summaries, but I'm not sure where to start from. What
function/argument should one use? Could you give an example?
See the vignette. It includes some custom formatting functions.
