[R] odfWeave and xtable

[Max Kuhn]

One thing on my (neglected) to-do list for odfWeave is to create a
general class called odf that can be used to create output for common
models (lm, glm etc). The nice thing here is that the output from this
function could write mixed output. For example, a short paragraph
about the specified model, the table for coefficients produced by
summary.lm, diagnostic plots etc.

Right now, to get the coeffcient table use:

  #from ?lm
  ## Annette Dobson (1990) "An Introduction to Generalized Linear Models".
  ## Page 9: Plant Weight Data.
  ctl <- c(4.17,5.58,5.18,6.11,4.50,4.61,5.17,4.53,5.33,5.14)
  trt <- c(4.81,4.17,4.41,3.59,5.87,3.83,6.03,4.89,4.32,4.69)
  group <- gl(2,10,20, labels=c("Ctl","Trt"))
  weight <- c(ctl, trt)
  lm.D9 <- lm(weight ~ group)

  library(odfWeave)
  coefTable <- summary(lm.D9)$coef
  colnames(coefTable) <- odfTranslate(colnames(coefTable), toR = FALSE)
  odfTable(coefTable)
