Right-align LaTeX longtables through R's print.xtable - r

Say I have the following program in R to generate a LaTeX longtable:
library(xtable)
tabela <- xtabs(Temp ~ Month, airquality)
xtabela <- xtable(tabela)
print.xtable(xtabela, tabular.environment = 'longtable', floating = FALSE)
Which yields
\begin{longtable}{rr}
\hline
& Month \\
\hline
5 & 2032.00 \\
6 & 2373.00 \\
7 & 2601.00 \\
8 & 2603.00 \\
9 & 2307.00 \\
\hline
\hline
\end{longtable}
However, I want this table to be completely aligned to the right. In LaTeX, I just need to use \begin{longtable}[r]{rr} in order to accomplish this, but how do I pass this [r] argument through R's print.xtable? Alternatively, how do I achieve the same result through other methods (I've tried \raggedleft, but it only works with regular tabular objects)?

As a very rough method, you could do:
cat(paste(c("\\begin{longtable}[r]{", align(xt), "}\n"), collapse=""))
print(xtabella, only.contents=T)
cat("\\end{longtable}\n")

(R, xtable package) sanitize.text.function is not working

I want to include a data table from R in a LaTeX file. I am using xtableand the problem is that the function sanitize.text.function is not working properly. MWE:
> a <- matrix(c("name & surname", 12345), ncol = 2)
[,1] [,2]
[1,] "name & surname" "12345"
> print.xtable(xtable(a), type = "latex", sanitize.text.function = function(x){x}, file = "../R_out/prova.tex")
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rll}
\hline
& 1 & 2 \\
\hline
1 & name & surname & 12345 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
As you can see there is a & in excess.
The only other similar question that I could find on stackoverflow concerned the location of the option sanitize.text.function, but in my case it should be correctly placed. Can you see the problem here?

R: math notation in data.frame

> df = data.frame(Parameters = c(expression(beta[1])))
Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE) :
cannot coerce class ""expression"" to a data.frame
I'm trying to write math notation in a data.frame, but it seems that the two are not compatible. Is there a way around this?
I have also tried
> data.frame(Parameters = paste(expression(beta[1])))
Parameters
1 beta[1]
How can I get to show up?
If you want to store the latex code for those symbols inside a dataframe then be able to generate correct latex code from xtable, you will need to override the sanitize function in print.xtable by feeding in a dummy function that returns the input exactly (See this question: Using xtable with R and Latex, math mode in column names?):
df = data.frame(Parameter = c("$\\beta_{0}$", "$\\beta_{1}$", "$\\beta_{2}$"),
Estimate = beta, row.names = 1)
print(xtable(t(df)), sanitize.text.function = function(x){x})
Latex Table:
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rrrr}
\hline
& $\beta_{0}$ & $\beta_{1}$ & $\beta_{2}$ \\
\hline
Estimate & 0.05 & 0.10 & 0.15 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
Similar to xtable, stargazer has some cool options to generate nice looking tables in latex. One thing you can do is to change the variable names to math notation using the covariate.labels argument in stargazer:
library(stargazer)
beta = 1:3*0.05
df = data.frame(Parameter = c("beta0", "beta1", "beta2"),
Estimate = beta, row.names = 1)
stargazer(t(df), covariate.labels = c(NA, "$\\beta_{0}$", "$\\beta_{1}$", "$\\beta_{2}$"),
header = FALSE, summary = FALSE)
This outputs a latex table code:
\begin{table}[!htbp] \centering
\caption{}
\label{}
\begin{tabular}{#{\extracolsep{5pt}} cccc}
\\[-1.8ex]\hline
\hline \\[-1.8ex]
& $\beta_{0}$ & $\beta_{1}$ & $\beta_{2}$ \\
\hline \\[-1.8ex]
Estimate & $0.050$ & $0.100$ & $0.150$ \\
\hline \\[-1.8ex]
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
You can copy and paste the code here to render the latex table.
Also note that the default for type= in stargazer is "latex", which generates latex code, but you can also specify type="text" to generate a table in your console. This option, however, does not allow you to render the math symbols.
stargazer(t(df), covariate.labels = c(NA, "$\\beta_{0}$", "$\\beta_{1}$", "$\\beta_{2}$"),
header = FALSE, summary = FALSE, type = "text")
# ==========================
# 0 1 2
# --------------------------
# Estimate 0.050 0.100 0.150
# --------------------------
Another option using my package:
library(huxtable)
dfr = data.frame(Parameter = c("$\\beta_{0}$", "$\\beta_{1}$", "$\\beta_{2}$"),
Estimate = 'beta')
ht <- as_hux(dfr)
escape_contents(ht) <- FALSE
ht # will print as TeX within a markdown pdf_document
I am not very sure what you are trying to do here. If you are trying to create a dataframe df with a column named "Parameter" with values taken from a vector within a list beta, then the below code will do the job.
df = data.frame(Parameters = beta[[1]])
# Assuming that the first object in beta is a vector that you want to set as "Paramters" column.
Please provide more information as to what these objects are if this is not what you were looking for.

Displaying degrees of freedom in stargazer table

When constructing documents with Sweave and R, I make use of the stargazer library for tables.
When using stargazer, is there a mechanism to display the degrees of freedom associated with the residual deviance for a model constructed with glm?
Minimal code:
library(stargazer)
set.seed(1234)
data <- data.frame(x=1:10)
data$y <- data$x + rnorm(10, 0, 0.2)
model <- glm(y~x, data=data, family=gaussian)
summary(model)
stargazer(model,title="A test", align=T,label="Tab:test",style="all2")
Resultant stargazer table will have Observations, Log Likelihood, AIC, Residual Deviance and Null Deviance but no d.f. I can work out d.f. but would have thought this could be displayed directly. Also see:

Update #1:
Thank you Marek for your response. For the benefit of others that encounter this, here is the process that lets you form the work around:
Obtain version 4.0 (not 4.5 - I'll come back to this) from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/stargazer/
Within the package directory structure under R, edit "stargazer-internal.R" as per the instructions in the answer below.
Ensure that the library is not loaded in your R session
Ensure that you have removed any existing stargazer lib
Install the edited version of the stargazer package.
Reload the library in R and compile as per usual.
Here are the commands:
detach("package:stargazer", unload=TRUE)
remove.packages("stargazer")
From the command line:
R CMD INSTALL -l <path to library directory> stargazer
Finally (assuming you have a few models at hand),
library(stargazer)
stargazer(model6,model7,model8, title="Logistic model summary",align=T,label="Tab:logmod1", font.size="footnotesize", style="all2")

Marek, for your reference I will email the results traceback() to you.
Cheers.
Stargazer author here. It looks like the package's default is not to output degrees of freedom for residual and null deviance. I will consider changing the default in a future release.
As a quick fix for now, you might wish to use the source package (from CRAN), and modify the function .adjust.settings.style in stargazer-internal.R to contain the following:
if (style == "all") {
.format.table.parts <<- c("=!","dependent variable label","dependent variables","models","columns","numbers","-","coefficients","-","omit","-","additional","N","R-squared","adjusted R-squared","max R-squared","log likelihood","sigma2","theta(se)*(p)", "SER(df)","F statistic(df)*(p)","chi2(df)*(p)","Wald(df)*(p)","LR(df)*(p)","logrank(df)*(p)","AIC","BIC","UBRE","rho(se)*(p)","Mills(se)*(p)","residual deviance(df)*","null deviance(df)*","=!","notes")
.format.coefficient.table.parts <<- c("variable name","coefficient*","standard error","t-stat","p-value")
}
else if (style == "all2") {
.format.table.parts <<- c("=!","dependent variable label","dependent variables","models","columns","numbers","-","coefficients","-","omit","-","additional","N","R-squared","adjusted R-squared","max R-squared","log likelihood","sigma2","theta(se)*(p)", "SER(df)","F statistic(df)*(p)","chi2(df)*(p)","Wald(df)*(p)","LR(df)*(p)","logrank(df)*(p)","AIC","BIC","UBRE","rho(se)*(p)","Mills(se)*(p)","residual deviance(df)*","null deviance(df)*","=!","notes")
.format.coefficient.table.parts <<- c("variable name","coefficient*","standard error")
}
Note that the only change here is that I added "(df)*" to "residual deviance" and "null deviance".

Stargazer and gam - how to include the whole summary output?

When fitting a generalized additive model with smoothed splines stargazer only returns the main effects and not the smooth terms which you can see in summary(pros.gam). Can stargazer return these as well? Or is there another function or package that can do the job?
library(ElemStatLearn)
library(mgcv)
library(stargazer)
pros.gam=gam(lpsa~s(lcavol)+s(lweight)+s(age)+s(lbph)+svi
+s(lcp)+gleason+s(pgg45),data=prostate)
summary(pros.gam) # Table should include the smooth terms that are visible here
stargazer(pros.gam,summary=TRUE)
toLatex of the utils package does the job:
require(utils)
toLatex(summary(pros.gam)$s.table)
Output:
# \begin{tabular}{lD{.}{.}{7}D{.}{.}{7}D{.}{.}{7}D{.}{.}{7}}

I was having the same problem converting the output of GAM models (mgcv package), I got what I wanted with the "itsadug" package authored by R. Harald Baayen.
Convert model summary into Latex / HTML table for knitr / R Markdown reports.
data(simdat)
Model with random effect and interactions:
m1 <- bam(Y ~ Group+te(Time, Trial, by=Group),data=simdat)

How to remove "Standard Error" column from xtable() output of an lm on R/RSweave/LaTeX

I'm currently doing some data analysis on population data, so reporting the standard errors in the tables of parameter coefficients just doesn't really make statistical sense. I've done a fair bit of searching and can't find any way to customize the xtable output to remove it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot, I didn't post this lightly; if it's something obvious, I apologize for having wasted time!
so after my (other) whole long-winded answer... this works too:
xtable(summary(model1)$coefficients[,c(1,3,4)])
Or more generically:
sm <- summary(SomeModel)
SE.indx <- which(colnames(sm$coefficients) == "Std. Error") # find which column is Std. Error (usually 2nd)
sm$coefficients <- sm$coefficients[, -SE.indx] # Remove it
xtable(sm$coefficients) # call xtable on just the coefficients table
Results:

Using the first example in help(lm):

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
I agreed with not using std erros if this were descriptions of a population and not just a sample. By that reasoning, however, you would not want to leave in p-values or t-statistics. That was the reason I only included the coefficients. To remove the standard error column only from the summary coefficient matrix:
xtable( coef(summary(lm.D9))[,-2] )
% latex table generated in R 2.15.2 by xtable 1.7-0 package
% Sat Dec 8 21:02:17 2012

groupTrt & -0.37 & -1.19 & 0.25 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Looking at str(summary(Model1)) we see that $coefficients has the Std. Error value we want to remove.
lesserSummary <- function(x) {
## returns same as summary(x), but with "Std. Error" remove from coefficients.
## and class of object is "modifiedSummary"
# grab the summary
sm <- summary(x)
# find which column is std error
SE.indx <- which(colnames(sm$coefficients) == "Std. Error")
# remove it
sm$coefficients <- sm$coefficients[, -SE.indx]
# give it some class
class(sm) <- "modifiedSummary"
# return it
sm
}
xtable.modifiedSummary <-
function (x, caption = NULL, label = NULL, align = NULL, digits = NULL, display = NULL, ...) {
# x is a modifiedSummary object
# This function is a modification of xtable:::xtable.summary.lm
# Key Difference is simply the number of columns that x$coef is expected to have
# (Here 3. Originally 4)
x <- data.frame(x$coef, check.names = FALSE)
class(x) <- c("xtable", "data.frame")
caption(x) <- caption
label(x) <- label
align(x) <- switch(1 + is.null(align), align, c("r", "r", "r", "r"))
digits(x) <- switch(1 + is.null(digits), digits, c(0, 4, 2, 4))
display(x) <- switch(1 + is.null(display), display, c("s", "f", "f", "f"))
return(x)
}
xtable_mod <- function(x) {
# Wrapper function to xtable.modified summary, calling first lesserSummary on x
xtable(lesserSummary(x))
}

xtable_mod(model1)

Below are the steps taken to arrive at the above conclusion.
You can likely modify the call to xtable, but you first need to follow it down a bit:
start by looking at the source for xtable:
xtable
# function (x, caption = NULL, label = NULL, align = NULL, digits = NULL,
# display = NULL, ...)
# {
# UseMethod("xtable")
# }
# <environment: namespace:xtable>
We see that it simply has a call to UseMethod(). So lets see which methods are available:
methods(xtable)
# [1] xtable.anova* xtable.aov* xtable.aovlist*
# [4] xtable.coxph* xtable.data.frame* xtable.glm*
# [7] xtable.lm* xtable.matrix* xtable.prcomp*
# [10] xtable.summary.aov* xtable.summary.aovlist* xtable.summary.glm*
# [13] xtable.summary.lm* xtable.summary.prcomp* xtable.table*
# [16] xtable.ts* xtable.zoo*
There are several. Note that the ones with an asterisk * are non-visible.
The method called is determined by the class of the object we are calling xtable on.
Let's say our output is Model1 We take a look at its class: '
class(Model1)
# [1] "lm"
So the source we want to look at is xtable.lm.
xtable.lm
# Error: object 'xtable.lm' not found
Error? That's right, it is non-visible. So we use the package name with triple-colons. Note: please be sure to read the notice in the help file ?":::"
xtable:::xtable.lm
# function (x, caption = NULL, label = NULL, align = NULL, digits = NULL,
# display = NULL, ...)
# {
# return(xtable.summary.lm(summary(x), caption = caption, label = label,
# align = align, digits = digits, display = display))
# }
# <environment: namespace:xtable>
We notice that xtable.lm calls xtable.summary.lm and passes as its first argument a summary(x), where x is our model.
So that leads us to two place to investigate: summary and xtable.summary.lm
