Dear List: After reading some of the e-mails related to this topic I found one that converts a ftable to latex nicely. library(Hmisc) n=500 sex <- factor(sample(c("m","f"), n, rep=TRUE)) treatment <- factor(sample(c("Drug","Placebo"), n, rep=TRUE)) symptom <- factor(sample( c('H','S','G'), n,TRUE)) # I want this output in latex ftable(symptom~treatment+sex) ss = summary(symptom~treatment+sex,fun=table) latex(ss) But the next example gets rid off the rownames and column names after creating the latex table. x <- ftable(Titanic, row.vars = 1:2, col.vars = "Survived") latex(x) Felipe D.
