In Henric's recent post, he included this output:
@BOOK{R:Harrell:2001,
AUTHOR = {Frank E. Harrell},
TITLE = {Regression Modeling Strategies, with Applications to
Linear Models, Survival Analysis and Logistic
Regression},
PUBLISHER = {Springer},
YEAR = 2001,
NOTE = {ISBN 0-387-95232-2},
URL = {http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/RmS}
}
Can someone tell me how this is generated? I've noticed this in a few
recent posts. I attempted:
RSiteSearch("@BOOK")
?BOOK
?book
but it didn't return anything useful.
Thanks.

This is a BibTeX entry for Frank Harrell's book, which can be generated using a variety of software (I use JabRef or emacs/RefTeX or WinEdt, as needed). It is not generated from R, I believe. BibTeX is the bibliography management and citation system that is used within the TeX/LaTeX framework of producing documents, which is commonly used in the sciences, engineering and statistics. Many of us have BibTeX files which hold all the citations we wish to cite, and the BibTeX program extracts ones referred to in an article we write, formats it and inserts it in the text and References of the article. For more information, google BibTeX or LaTeX bibliography Abhijit Zembower, Kevin wrote:> In Henric's recent post, he included this output: > > @BOOK{R:Harrell:2001, > AUTHOR = {Frank E.

The format is for a bibliographic reference system called BibTeX associated with the LaTeX text processing language. Most BibTeX users have built up a reference database by adding the entries by hand. Editors like emacs have special modes to facilitate entering this information. Searching on the CTAN.org (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) web site may give some links to systems that can generate BibTeX reference databases automatically. On Linux the tellico bibliographic database manager can search commercial sites like amazon.com and download information about specific books from there, then export it in BibTeX format. I haven't tried it myself for books so I can't say how well it works. I have used it for extracting information on movies from imdb.com and it does a good job on that.
