can't run the code after I code and paste it to Tex Live.  The reasons are:
at the very beginning of the Latex code, two lines are missing:

to type those three lines in TeX Live in order to run the code.  Does anyone
know how to add those three lines in xtable function in R?  Thanks.

Just use paste(). Note that the help page for ?print.xtable says: "Note that
the function also (invisibly) returns a character vector of the results
(which can be helpful for post-processing). "
