How to store data frames into pdf file and csv file.

 Hello Jim,****

** **

I tried the following as you mentioned, but I still do not have the error
while opening the pdf file.****

** **

pdf(file = result2, paper = "a4r")****

                mdl.summary.out            <-capture.output(mdl.summary)**
**

                plot.new()****


text(0,0,paste(mdl.summary.out,collapse='\n'),family='mono')****

                dev.off()****

** **

I believe this time we try to use pdf to catch the graph via text, are we?
****

** **

Thanks,****

** **

Here is one way of doing it:****

** **

x****

               est.coef      std.err    t.stat****

intercept  0.0011625517 0.0002671437  4.351784****

aa        -0.0813727439 0.0163727943 -4.969997****

dummy1    -0.0002534873 0.0001204000 -2.105376****

dummy2    -0.0007784864 0.0001437537 -5.415417****

bb        -0.0002856727 0.0001090387 -2.619920****

cc         0.0003563825 0.0001114803  3.196820****

# capture the output as a string vector****

xo <- capture.output(x)****

plot.new()  # new page****

# now add text to plot****

text(0, 0, paste(xo, collapse = '\n'), family = 'mono')****

Hello,

I have a data frame

mdl.summary

                               est.coef      std.err    t.stat
intercept                  0.0011625517 0.0002671437  4.351784
aa                     -0.0813727439 0.0163727943 -4.969997
dummy1                      -0.0002534873 0.0001204000 -2.105376
dummy2              -0.0007784864 0.0001437537 -5.415417
bb                   -0.0002856727 0.0001090387 -2.619920
cc                    0.0003563825 0.0001114803  3.196820


and would like to store it to a pdf file, I use

                pdf(file = "a.pdf", paper = "a4r")
                mdl.summary
                dev.off()

to store this mdl.summary into a pdf file a.pdf. However, I can see from
the terminal that:

pdf(file = result2, paper = "a4r")

mdl.summary

                               est.coef      std.err    t.stat

intercept                  0.0011625517 0.0002671437  4.351784

aa                     -0.0813727439 0.0163727943 -4.969997

dummy1             -0.0002534873 0.0001204000 -2.105376

dummy2              -0.0007784864 0.0001437537 -5.415417

bb                   -0.0002856727 0.0001090387 -2.619920

cc                     0.0003563825 0.0001114803  3.196820

dev.off()

pdf

  2

And when I open the a.pdf, the error message says "There was an error
opening this document. The file is already open or in use by another
application." How could I save this data frame into a pdf file?

If I have another data frame, such as

st = data.frame(est.aic, est.aic)

st

    est.aic est.aic.1

1 -1654.986 -1654.986

How could I save it to a .csv file?

Thanks very much!

Cheers,

Rebecca
