Summary of proportions by group [duplicate]

Answer 1

To get frequency within a group:

library(dplyr)
mtcars %>% count(cyl, gear) %>% mutate(Freq = n/sum(n))
# Source: local data frame [8 x 4]
# Groups: cyl [3]
# 
#     cyl  gear     n       Freq
#   (dbl) (dbl) (int)      (dbl)
# 1     4     3     1 0.09090909
# 2     4     4     8 0.72727273
# 3     4     5     2 0.18181818
# 4     6     3     2 0.28571429
# 5     6     4     4 0.57142857
# 6     6     5     1 0.14285714
# 7     8     3    12 0.85714286
# 8     8     5     2 0.14285714

or equivalently,

mtcars %>% group_by(cyl, gear) %>% summarise(n = n()) %>% mutate(Freq = n/sum(n))

Careful of what the grouping is at each stage, or your numbers will be off.
