R help - Apr 2010 - MCMC results into LaTeX

Dear All,

What is the preferred way to get Bayesian analysis results (such as
those from MCMCpacki, MCMCglmm, and DPpackage) into LaTeX table
automatically? I have been using the "apsrtable" package and similar
functions in "memisc" package, but neither seems to handle MCMC output
directly. Many thanks.

It depends on what you want as output. Let's assume the summary of an
MCMCpack function:
First direct it to a variable, and check the available data frames. Then
output these with latex.

If you do this very often: latex is a generic, so you could write a simple
function that creates customized output for a class "summary.mcmc".
For
example, it could output both statistics and quantiles together, and do
reasonable rounding based on the standard errors.

library(MCMCpack)
library(Hmisc)
x<-rep(1:10,5)
y<-rnorm(50,mean=x)
qreg <- summary(MCMCquantreg(y~x))
str(qreg)
#List of 6
# $ statistics: num [1:3, 1:4] 0.3479 0.9029 0.3413 0.2602 0.0391 ...
#  ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2

latex(qreg$statistics,file="")
latex(qreg$quantiles,file="")
