Hi all,
Anyone experienced in the LaTeX format?
I'm trying to use the xtable package to create nice anova tables, but how do
I do to produce a pdf from the resulting LaTeX table? I've tried WinShell
and MiKTeX, but I couldn't get any of them working...
Here's an example of the output in R:
% latex table generated in R 2.9.2 by xtable 1.5-6 package
% Tue Nov 24 14:17:32 2009
\begin{tabular}{lrrrrr}
\hline
& Df & Sum Sq & Mean Sq & F value & Pr($>$F) \\
\hline
cat & 2 & 40.50 & 20.25 & 6.66 & 0.0019 \\
Residuals & 107 & 325.13 & 3.04 & & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Best regards,
Joel

You need, at the very least, A \documentclass statement at the beginning of the file and the code above needs to be inside a \begin{document} ... \end{document} pair. Then, the pdflatex (I beilieve this exists in MiKTeX) command builds a pdf file. Kevin> > > > Best regards, > > > > Joel-- Kevin E.

Hi Joel,
that's a LaTeX issue you have there, nothing wrong with R.
You should post your message on a LaTeX Forum about how to use LaTeX.

As a general observation, few, if any, statistical packages, generate tables in the format what you might think you need or want. R is not an exception. Then it is better to transfer the table to a spreadsheet, shift things around, add headers, etc.. The R2HTML library is useful for that operation. When things are the way you want it, transfer it to LaTex via a text file, e.g. .csv.
