Hi all
I know about producing a minimal example to show my problem. But I'm
having trouble producing a minimal example that displays this
behaviour, so please bear with me to begin with.
Observe: I create an array called model.mat. Some details on this:
> str(model.mat)
num [1:18, 1:4] -0.170 -0.304 -2.617 2.025 -1.610 ...
- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
..$ : chr [1:18] "Amount: CP for VF" "Amount: CP for F" "Amount: CP for
M" "Amount: RD for VF" ...
..$ : chr [1:4] "beta_0" "P-value" "beta_1" "P-value"
It contains the following:
> model.mat[1:2,]
beta_0 P-value beta_1 P-value
Amount: CP for VF -0.1702877 0.7716153 0.5148616 2.020602e-03
Amount: CP for F -0.3042522 0.1966133 0.8795982 6.058299e-12
That's fine. Now to produce a LaTeX table using xtable,
I get:
> xtable(model.mat[1:2,])
<snip>
Amount: CP for VF & $-$0.17 & 0.77 & 0.51 & 0.77 \\
Amount: CP for F & $-$0.30 & 0.20 & 0.88 & 0.20 \\
<snip>
That is, the final column does *not* correspond to the final
column of model.mat itself. It is actually column 2 repeated.
What's going on? If I try repeating on a minimal type example,
xtable works as expected:
> fred <- array( seq(1,18*4), dim=c(18,4))
> fred[1:2, ]
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 1 19 37 55
[2,] 2 20 38 56
> xtable(fred[1:2, ])
% latex table generated in R 2.5.0 by xtable 1.4-6 package
% Thu Sep 13 14:09:46 2007
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrrrr}
\hline
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
\hline
1 & 1 & 19 & 37 & 55 \\
2 & 2 & 20 & 38 & 56 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
So it is not a generic problem. But what could it be? I can't decide
where to look, so find a solution or produce a minimal example to display
this behaviour. I actually use this construct with xtable a lot, so
it disturbs me to find this error... which is probably is something
I am doing.
The problem exists for a smaller subsets of this array also; let's take
columns 2, 3 and 4 only:
> model.mat[1:2,2:4]
P-value beta_1 P-value
Amount: CP for VF 0.7716153 0.5148616 2.020602e-03
Amount: CP for F 0.1966133 0.8795982 6.058299e-12
> xtable(model.mat[1:2,2:4])
% latex table generated in R 2.5.0 by xtable 1.4-6 package
% Thu Sep 13 14:04:40 2007
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrrr}
\hline
& P-value & beta\_1 & P-value \\
\hline
Amount: CP for VF & 0.77 & 0.51 & 0.77 \\
Amount: CP for F & 0.20 & 0.88 & 0.20 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Is it a problem with my particular array model.mat or something
I am doing wrong/silly? I don't know where to start.
Thanks all, as always.
