[R] xtable Questions

[Kevin Wang]

Hi,

These are two problems I've never seen when I used xtable() before...

R 1.9.1 for Windows XP, xtable version 1.2-3:
   > final.df
               Loci Chr    Marker Position P.values Deviance DF
   1           Idd5   1  D1Mit181     42.6   0.0011   103.21 78
   2     Idd6/19/20   6  D6Mit374     66.7   0.0014   104.29 78
   3          Idd13   2  D2Mit490     64.5   0.0025    97.83 78
   4        Idd8/12  13 D14Mit109       24   0.0244   102.41 78
   5          Idd14  14  D13Mit39      3.3   0.0379    95.92 78
   6  Idd3/10/17/18   3  D3Mit257     49.2    0.068   105.45 78
   7           Idd9   4  D4Mit233     69.9   0.1406   107.13 78
   8          Idd15   5  D5Mit338     43.7   0.2196   107.67 78
   9           Idd7   7  D7Mit101     45.9   0.4608    95.96 78
   10          Idd2   9  D9Mit328     17.5   0.5125   107.25 78
   11          Aire  10 D10Mit198     33.9   0.6457   106.13 78
   12          Idd4  11 D11Mit298     37.2   0.9261   107.47 78
   13         Idd21  18 D18Mit135      9.8   0.9272   107.67 78
   > xtable(final.df,
   +        caption = "Summary for each Locus",
   +        label = "tab:sumLocus")
   Error in x + ifelse(x == 0, 1, 0) : non-numeric argument to binary 
operator
   > is.data.frame(final.df)
   [1] TRUE

final.df is a data frame, but I cannot understand what the error message 
means about "non-numeric argument to binary operator".

The other problem is:
   > one.df
        Loci P.values
   1    Idd5   0.1147
   2   Idd13   0.0085
   3   Idd14    0.002
   4 Idd8.12    0.042
   5    Idd7   0.0114
   > xtable(one.df,
   +        caption = "Fitting without Interactions",
   +        label = "tab:noI")
   tab:noI
   % latex table generated in R 1.9.1 by xtable 1.2-3 package
   % Thu Sep 02 14:22:01 2004
   \begin{table}[ht]
   \begin{center}
   \begin{tabular}{rll}
   \hline
    & Loci & P.values \\
   \hline
   1 &    Idd5 & 0.1147 \\
   2 &   Idd13 & 0.0085 \\
   3 &   Idd14 &  0.002 \\
   4 & Idd8.12 &  0.042 \\
   5 &    Idd7 & 0.0114 \\
   \hline
   \end{tabular}
   \caption{Fitting without Interactions}
   \end{center}
   \end{table}
   > is.data.frame(one.df)
   [1] TRUE

I want to give the resulting LaTeX markup for one.df a label, namely 
"tab:noI", but instead of putting a \label{tab:noI}, it just put 
"tab:noI" at the beginning of the output.

I've tried to completely clear the workspace, delete the .RData and 
start fresh.  But the problems still occur *_*.

Any help would be appreciated!

Kevin
