R help - May 2010 - latex.rms and models fit with GLS

Hi,

I have fit a model using the rms package with the Gls() function.

Is there a way to get the model estimates, std errors, and p-values (i.e. what 
you get with print(fit)) into latex format?

I have tried:

f <- Gls(...)
latex(f, file='')

... but I get the following error

Error in replace.substring.wild(s, old, new, test = test, front = front,  : 
  does not handle > 1 * in old

I think that this might have something to do with the fact that I fit the 
model with GLS. (?)

I am looking for a simple way to get a table of estimated coeficients without 
hand-making a table in a text editor for inclusion within a LATEX document.

Thanks!

What is GLS?  I thought you fit the model with Gls.  And please follow 
the posting guide instead of submitting only parts of lines of code.

The latex method for a Gls object typesets the mathematical form of the 
fitted model formula.  To get what you want:

w <- nlme:::summary.gls(f)$tTable
w
latex(w, ....)
