Abstract:
|
Statisticians are often called upon to produce tabular output for papers and presentations. Clients expect a certain quality of output that does not match the default tabular output from statistical software. Various time-consuming, non-reproducible, error prone or manual methods (copy/paste/export to spreadsheet applications, custom programming, etc.) are often used to "dress up" the output. The R package 'tabulaR' is a proposed solution to this problem. This package utilizes the object oriented language, and assumptions about the structure of tabular data to drive the presentation of a table completely within the R environment. "Dress up" features are accessible through a user friendly interface familiar to the R programmer, as well as all of the file formats available for export via the R graphics device. These features include: text markup, formatting to grouped row and column label hierarchies, column and row dividers, conditional highlighting, footnotes, footer/header, and page overflow management.
