You might look at the summary method in Dr. Harrell's Hmisc package, I believe this would give you almost exactly what you want.
latex(summary(gender ~ age + bmi, data=yourdata, method='reverse')) This will get you quartiles, but if you read the documentation (?summary.formula) you can see how to create custom summaries. --Matt Matt Austin Global Statistical Leader, denosumab PMO Director, Biostatistics Amgen, Inc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jcarmichael Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 12:46 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Using PrettyR to produce LaTeX output Hello everyone. I am new to R, so please bear with me. I am trying to find an easy way to export descriptive statistics and other information about my data frame to a LaTeX format. I have found the describe function in PrettyR to be very helpful in producing results in the exact format I'm looking for. However, the value of the describe function is a LIST (rather than a data frame) which I am then unable to convert to LaTeX using the xtable package or the latex function of Hmisc. When I try to convert the list to a data frame, I get an error that says "arguments imply differing number of rows." If that didn't make any sense...ultimately, here is what I'm trying (and failing) to produce as a LaTeX document...
