latexTable: LaTeX table for strategic models

Description

Makes a LaTeX table of strategic model results.

Usage

latexTable(x, digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 2),
    scientific = NA, blankfill = "",
    math.style.negative = TRUE, file = "",
    floatplace = "htbp", caption = NULL, label = NULL,
    rowsep = 2, useboot = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a fitted model of class game.

digits

number of digits to print.

scientific

logical or integer value to control use of scientific notation. See format.

blankfill

text to fill empty cells (those where a certain variable did not enter the given equation).

math.style.negative

whether negative signs should be "math style" or plain hyphens. Defaults to TRUE.

file

file to save the output in. Defaults to "", which prints the table to the R console.

floatplace

where to place the table float; e.g., for \begin{table}[htp], use floatplace = "htp".

caption

caption to use (none if NULL)

label

reference label to use (none if NULL)

rowsep

amount of space (in points) to put between rows.

useboot

logical: use bootstrap estimates (if available) to calculate standard errors?

Value

• x, invisibly.

Details

latexTable prints LaTeX code for the presentation of results from a strategic model. Each row contains one regressor, and each column contains one of the utility (or variance term) equations in the model. For example, in a model fit with egame12, the four columns will be u11, u13, u14, and u24 respectively. Each cell contains the estimated parameter, atop its standard error in parentheses. Cells that are empty because a regressor is not included in a particular equation are filled with the string specified in the option blankfill. Signorino and Tarar (2006, p. 593) contains a table of this variety.

The table generated depends on the multirow package for LaTeX, so make sure to include \usepackage{multirow} in the preamble of your document.

The digits option does not yet work seamlessly; you may have to resort to trial and error.

Examples

data(war1800)
f1 <- esc + war ~ s_wt_re1 + revis1 | 0 | balanc + revis1 | balanc
m1 <- egame12(f1, data = war1800)

latexTable(m1)
latexTable(m1, digits = 8)
latexTable(m1, blankfill = "--")  ## dashes in blank cells

latexTable(m1, file = "my_table.tex")  ## write to file
