stat.table object into latex

Hello Lauri,

If you write "> methods(xtable)", xtable.stat.table is not included, thus it
must be included but I have not found howto...

But, if you use:

a.latex <- latexVerbatim(a)

Function latexVerbatim "executes the object's print method, capturing the
output for a file inside a LaTeX verbatim environment" (as says in the help).

While someone finds a better solution, I hope it can help you.

Cheers,
Albert

Subject: [R-sig-Epi] stat.table object into latex

R users,

Is there a way to convert stat.table (library(Epi)) object into latex
table? I have tried xtable from (xtable package) and latex (Hmisc
package) with no success.

Example code:

install.packages("Epi")
library(Epi)
install.packages("Hmisc")
library(Hmisc)
install.packages("xtable")
library(xtable)

a <- stat.table(index=list(wool,tension),
                contents=list(count(),mean(breaks),percent (wool)),
                data=warpbreaks)
a
a.latex <- xtable(a)
Error in UseMethod("xtable") : no applicable method for "xtable"
a.latex <- latex(a)
Error in x[, j] : incorrect number of dimensions

Best,
Lauri
