Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

LaTex output of summary statistics of a data frame. Prints one line for minimum, maximum median, mean, quartiles, number of elements, standard deviation and standard error for each numerical variable. A separate table is written for each unique combinations of factors. Labeling and generation of captions is automatic.

DMlatexSummaryby(object, title = "", INDICES = NULL, file = "",
  caption = "%s", label = "", ctable = FALSE, rowlabel = "",
  moredec = 0, where = "!htbp", onetable = NULL, lang = "en",
  noQuantiles = FALSE, ...)

`object`	data frame with numerical and factor variables
`title`	to be printed in upper left corner
`INDICES`	a factor or list of factors for breakdown. Defaults to no breakdown, resulting in one detail table only.
`file`	output file name; default prints output to the standard output, which is the choice for Sweave.
`caption`	text for caption, with sprintf substitions. Defaults to factor combination, followed by explanation of the column headers.
`label`	if no label given, label of table, defaults to `tab:<factorname1><factor1>:<factornameN><factorN>.` If not "", and there is no colon in the label, `tab:<label>.<factorname1>...` is used as table label. If there is a colon in the label, the label is used as is.
`ctable`	Uses `ctable`-formatting of LaTeX by default.
`rowlabel`	optional text for left table header cell.
`moredec`	Show more decimals than by default. Fractional values, e.g. 0.5 can be used here such that boundary case are rounded up instead of down
`where`	positioning parameter for LaTeX
`onetable`	If TRUE, force multiple tables into one. If FALSE, print one table per combination of factors. Internally set to TRUE when there is only one numerical factor.
`lang`	Language, currently `en` (default) or `de`.
`noQuantiles`	Suppress quantiles if TRUE
`...`	Additional parameters passed to `latex` in `Hmisc`.

Returns the result of the call to latex in Hmisc.

Requires ctable in your Snw/tex file. In a multi-table breakdown, only the caption of the first table has the explanation of the headers.
