From R to LaTeX to pdf?

As a general observation, few, if any, statistical packages, generate 
tables in the format what you might think you need or want.  R is not an 
exception.  Then it is better to transfer the table to a spreadsheet, 
shift things around, add headers, etc..  The R2HTML library is useful 
for that operation.  When things are the way you want it, transfer it to 
LaTex via a text file, e.g. .csv.

Hi all,

 

Anyone experienced in the LaTeX format?

 

I'm trying to use the xtable package to create nice anova tables, but 
how do I do to produce a pdf from the resulting LaTeX table? I've 
tried WinShell and MiKTeX, but I couldn't get any of them working...

 

Here's an example of the output in R:

 

% latex table generated in R 2.9.2 by xtable 1.5-6 package
% Tue Nov 24 14:17:32 2009
\begin{tabular}{lrrrrr}
  \hline
 & Df & Sum Sq & Mean Sq & F value & Pr($>$F) \\   \hline
cat & 2 & 40.50 & 20.25 & 6.66 & 0.0019 \\   Residuals & 107 & 325.13 
& 3.04 &  &  \\    \hline
\end{tabular}

 

Best regards,

 

Joel
