Combine tb Objects by Rows

Vertical stacking of tb objects to create multi-variable tables.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'simtab_tb'
rbind(..., deparse.level = 1)

Arguments

...

Objects of class simtab_tb to be combined.

deparse.level

Integer controlling label deparsing (unused).

Value

A combined object of class c("simtab_rbind_tb", "rbind_tb", "simtab").

Details

This method is registered as an S3 method on base::rbind() (it does not mask base::rbind), so rbind(tb1, tb2) dispatches here while ordinary matrix/data.frame rbind() is unaffected.

The resulting rbind_tb object combines multiple bivariate tables sharing a common stratifying column into a stacked summary table.
