How to get proportions in R using table function?
<p>I have a crime dataset having few variables as (ID,Year,Date,Arrest) , now I am trying to get the proportion of Arrests made in a particular year for example for years say (2001,2010,2015) how can I calculate it by using table function?</p>

<p>I tried using below code, but it doesn't give a decent outcome :</p>

<pre><code>prop.table(table(CRDATA$Year,CRDATA$Arrest))
</code></pre>

<p>and </p>

<pre><code>prop.test(table(CRDATA$Year,CRDATA$Arrest))
</code></pre>

<p>Note: dataset name is CRDATA, Year is of Date type and Arrest is of Logi datatype</p>

<p>Below is a portion of dataset</p>

<pre><code>ID      Date           Location Arrest  Area    Year
