Include Iverson Bracket in R documentation - r

Question

I am wanting to include an Iverson bracket in R documentation (unless there's a better way to represent this information; I'm no mathematician). This looks something like this.
Here I have valid LaTeX code for such an expression
w_{neg}=\left\{\begin{matrix}
1 & \sum{(X_i^{N})}>0 \\
0 & \sum{(X_i^{N}})=0
\end{matrix}\right.
I tried to include the code below:
#' w_{neg}=\left\{\begin{matrix}
#' 1 & \sum{(X_i^{N})}>0 \\
#' 0 & \sum{(X_i^{N}})=0
#' \end{matrix}\right.
in the details section of roxygen2 but it produces the error seen below when compiling the pdf help documentation:
Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...

How can I include this Iverson Bracket in R documentation (unless there's a better way to represent this in which case that's the better approach)? Note that removal of these lines allows the package to compile.

Answer 1

I utilized the following in the roxygen2 documentation and it worked:
#' \deqn{w_{neg}=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
#' 1 & \sum{(X_i^{N})}>0 \\
#' 0 & \sum{(X_i^{N}})=0
#' \end{array}\right.}
