Include apsrtable (or stargazer) output in an Rmd file

Question

I tried to include the summary of an lm object in an Rmd file, using code like the following but it didn\'t work. Could you help me do that?

```         


        

Answer 1

The $$ syntax only applies to math expressions, and you were trying to put a table in it, which will not work. The apsrtable, as far as I understand, is for LaTeX only, but LaTeX and Markdown are very different -- there is little hope you can redo LaTeX entirely with Markdown. I think people invented the $$ syntax for Markdown due to the fact that it is well supported by MathJax, and also note there are many variants/flavors based on the original Markdown.

At the moment you may consider:

• use the xtable or ascii or R2HTML package to generate HTML tables
• request the package author of apsrtable to support HTML tables

Answer 2

Cross-posting my answer to Table of multiple lm() models using apsrtable in Rmarkdown:

It can be done in a pdf_document with apsrtable and also stargazer, which additionally supports HTML.

title: "stargazer"
author: "hplieninger"
date: "3 August 2018"
output: pdf_document
header-includes:
    - \usepackage{dcolumn}

```{r}
m1 <- lm(Fertility ~ Education , data = swiss)
m2 <- lm(Fertility ~ Education + Agriculture, data = swiss)
m3 <- lm(Fertility ~ . , data = swiss)
```

```{r, results='asis'}
apsrtable::apsrtable(m1, m2, m3, Sweave = TRUE)
```

```{r, results='asis'}
# If output: pdf_document
stargazer::stargazer(m1, m2, m3)
# If output: html_document
# stargazer::stargazer(m1, m2, m3, type = "html")
```

What about including my_model in Markdown format with `pander˙:

> library(pander)
> pander(my_model)

--------------------------------------------------------------
              Estimate   Std. Error   t value   Pr(>|t|) 
----------------- ---------- ------------ --------- ----------
      **x**         0.1174      0.1573     0.7465     0.4767  

 **(Intercept)**   -0.2889      0.9759     -0.296     0.7748  
--------------------------------------------------------------

Table: Fitting linear model: y ~ x

Or in PHP MarkdownExtra/rmarkdown format:

> panderOptions('table.style', 'rmarkdown')
> pander(my_model)


|              |  Estimate  |  Std. Error  |  t value  |  Pr(>|t|)  |
|:-----------------:|:----------:|:------------:|:---------:|:----------:|
|       **x**       |   0.1174   |    0.1573    |  0.7465   |   0.4767   |
|  **(Intercept)**  |  -0.2889   |    0.9759    |  -0.296   |   0.7748   |
