Re: [R] using latex() in R for Unix
The difficulty you are running into is related to the fact that
print methods return their argument as their value. They do not
return a representation of the text that appears on the screen.
At some level, it looks like the intent is to capture the screen text
and reformat it for LaTeX. This is not easily done without getting
inside the print method.
You can get an effect close to what you want with the single statement
tmp <- latex(list(Estimates, sumStat)) ## assignment prevents automatic
printing
but it will still produce two table environments, one for each component
of the list.
The result you are looking for is not a simple rectangular array.
We have zillions of arguments in latex() for controlling the appearance
of rectangular arrays. The types of controls that are needed for more
general structures are more general and we don't have all that you would want.
You might want to look at the insert.bottom argument and the caption and
caption.loc
arguments.
For full control, you have the choice of doing formatting on the R side or
on the LaTeX side. You can write
sumStat <- paste("\multicolumn{3}{l}{", "N= ",sum(sumobj$df[-1]), ", R^2 =",
sumobj$r.squared, ", RMSE = ", sumobj$sigma, "}")
on the R side. Or you can edit the latex file to add
the \multicolumn. Since you will need to edit the latex anyway to move
the line from its own table to the bottom of the first table,
I think it would be easier to do everything on the LaTeX side.

Re: [R] using latex() in R for Unix
This thread piqued my interest in how to use Hmisc latex() to produce
the tables that I actually want, rather than the ones that come out by
default. Actually, I'd be glad to use R2HTML or any other tool if I
can make the output suit my taste.
Here's a small working example that does not require any special libraries.
x <- rnorm(100)
y <- rnorm(100)
mylm <- lm(y~x)
Estimates <- cbind(coef(mylm), sqrt(diag(vcov(mylm
colnames(Estimates) <- c("OLS estimate","std. error")
rownames(Estimates) <- c("Intercept","Education")
latex(Estimates,file="/home/pauljohn/test4.tex",digits=4)
That creates the top part of the table like I want it, except there
are no stars on the standard errors.
I want to add the diagnostic information, sample size, the R-square,
and root mean square error:
sumobj <- summary(mylm)
## tedious pasting alert:
sumStat <- paste("N= ",sum(sumobj$df[-1]), ", R^2 =",
sumobj$r.squared, ", RMSE = ", sumobj$sigma)
# The following does not have the desired effect because it creates
and appends a whole new table
latex(sumStat, file="/home/pauljohn/test4.tex", append=T)
How can I "snug up" sumStat right at the end of the table?

Re: [R] using latex() in R for Unix
Your command
latex(Estimates, file='out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3)
works for me in a unix environment, and produces
the file out.tex in the current working directory.
(your second example is not reproducible, in
general, since I don't have directory named
/home/b/bquinif/bq/9095
)
Your first message indicated that the command
latex(Estimates, file='out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3)
did *not* return an error, just that you could
not find the file. If that's the case, then try
getwd()
to find out what R thinks your current directory
is. That is where R should be putting the file.
You can also try, from within R,
list.files()
list.files(patt='tex')
to see what is there.

Re: [R] using latex() in R for Unix
Yes, Peter, I do mean the later() function from the Hmsic package.
Below is a reproducible example. Also, does anyone know how to stop R
from automatically running LaTeX on the file produced by latex()
library(Matching)
library(Hmisc)
#make up some data
X <- matrix(rnorm(1000*5), ncol=5)
Y1 <- as.vector(rnorm(1000))
Tr <- c(rep(1,500),rep(0,500))
#estimate nearest neighbor, 1-1 matching, ATT
a <- Match(Y=Y1, X=X, Tr=Tr, M=1)
summary(a)
#make up some more data
Y2 <- as.vector(rnorm(1000))
#estimate nearest neighbor, 1-1 matching, ATT
b <- Match(Y=Y2, X=X, Tr=Tr, M=1)
summary(b)
#Generate table of estimates
Estimates <- matrix(c(a$est, b$est, a$se, b$se),nrow=2)
rownames(Estimates) = c("a","b")
colnames(Estimates) = c("Estimate","Standard Error")
print(Estimates)
#I use the next line of code for running in Windows--it works, and I
can find the file out.tex
#latex(Estimates, file='out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3)
#I use the next line of code for running in Unix--I get an error
message saying the file/directory does not exist
#latex(Estimates, file='/home/b/bquinif/bq/9095/out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3)
