[R] Math characters in column heading using latex() in Hmisc
Hi Everybody
I want to print a latex table containing math characters in the column
heading
These are the formulae I want to use as column headings. It prints OK from
TeX
$\sum_{i}\sum_{j}C_{P,i,j,y}\times\mathit{FC}_{i}$, $XU_{alt,y}$, $n$,
$\bar{C}_{P,y}$
My plan was to create a character vector with these and later rbind the
values to them. When I create the vector like:
Season=c("$\sum_{i}\sum_{j}C_{P,i,j,y}\times\mathit{FC}_{i}$","$XU_{alt,y}$"
,"$n$","$\bar{C}_{P,y}$")
I get the error message:
'\s' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting
double backslashes doesn't give an error but doesn't work in Tex
"$\\sum_{i}\\sum_{j}C_{P,i,j,y}\\times\\mathit{FC}_{i}$"
Session Info below
Thanks in advance
Christiaan

Hi Christain,
You do not give us a reproducible example, nor do yo tell us how you
are creating the table. The following works fine for me:
dat <- data.frame(x1=1, x2=2, x3=3, x4=4)
names(dat) <-
c("$\\sum_{i}\\sum_{j}C_{P,i,j,y}\\times\\mathit{FC}_{i}$",
"$XU_{alt,y}$","$n$","$\\bar{C}_{P,y}$")
library(Hmisc)
latex(dat)
