R Stat Stargazer - How to drop percentiles in summary table?

Question

I am generating a Latex summary table of the variables in my dataset using the stargazer package. I don't want percentile statistics (25th and 75th) in my table, but disabling the option via iqr = FALSE does not work.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thank you already for your help!

Here is an example:

library(stargazer)

d.x <- data.frame(rnorm(1000))

stargazer(d.x, iqr = FALSE)

The output is:

 & \multicolumn{1}{c}{St. Dev.} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Min} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Pctl(25)} 
& \multicolumn{1}{c}{Pctl(75)} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Max} \\ 
        \hline \\[-1.8ex] 
        rnorm.1000. & 1,000 & 0.065 & 0.989 & $-$3.314 & $-$0.620 & 0.732 & 4.255 \\ 
        \hline \\[-1.8ex] 
        \end{tabular} 
        \end{table} 

As you see the Latex output still includes the percentile statistics:

\multicolumn{1}{c}{Pctl(25)} 
& \multicolumn{1}{c}{Pctl(75)}

Answer 1

Ah, I solved it myself: Instead of using the iqr = FALSE option, I can ommit the percintiles by adding omit.summary.stat = c("p25", "p75") to the function call to stargazer.

The full code is:

library(stargazer)
d.x <- data.frame(rnorm(1000))
stargazer(d.x, omit.summary.stat = c("p25", "p75")) 

This gives the correct Latex-output without the percentiles:
