Convert a number into a string with rounded decimal places

Description

Reformat a coefficient as a string with a certain number of decimal places.

Usage

coeftostring(x, lead.zero = FALSE, digits = 2)

Arguments

x	A numeric object to reformat.
lead.zero	Should a leading zero be printed if the coefficient is non-negative and smaller than one (e.g., "0.23" as opposed to ".23")?
digits	Number of decimal places to round to.

Details

This function takes a numeric object, usually a coefficient from a statistical model, and converts it into a character object. The user can choose to how many decimal places the number is rounded (usually two in most published regression models) and whether there should be a leading zero if the coefficient is between 0 and 1.

Value

A reformatted coefficient string as a character object.
