Dear R?ers
I?m trying to get a summary table using latex and summary in the rms package to
no avail. I?m running R 2.10.1, Mac OS X snow leopard and I have the mactex 2009
distribution installed. Any obvious things I?m missing?
//M
options(digits=3)
set.seed(173)
sex <- factor(sample(c("m","f"), 500, rep=TRUE))
age <- rnorm(500, 50, 5)
treatment <- factor(sample(c("Drug","Placebo"), 500,
rep=TRUE))
f <- summary(treatment ~ age + sex + Symptoms, method="reverse",
test=TRUE)
latex(f)
results in the following:

How you get that installed on your OS, I don't know. Depending on what you're doing, you might want to use the "file" argument of latex function to output a latex file, and then do further processing. Also, assigning the latex function call to a variable, x <- latex(...) will suppress printing of the object, which is ultimately what is trying to use xdvi.

xdvi is installed in the same location as yours. I even did a reinstallment of mactex. Still doesnt work. But since I?m now convinced its related to my latex distribution I?ll take the problem elsewhere..
