[R-sig-Epi] Publication quality tables

[Neil Shephard]

In a word, yes.  But its more complicated than it first appears, since
"publication quailty" is rather ambiguous and is dependent upon the
software that you are using to write your publications.

To me publication quality would mean something LaTeX (as opposed to
WYSIWYG word-processor).  If you want LaTeX formatted tables then see
?xtable which will also produce html tables (which you could
conceivably import into M$-Office/Word and/or OpenOffice).

Note also that R-Epi is a SIG (Special Interest Group) and is for the
specific discussion of Epidemiological issues.  Your question would
have been more suited to R-help although the FAQ for the list suggests
looking in the R-help archives which can be searched at
http://search.r-project.org/nmz.html or using the -RSiteSearch-
command.

On a more wider answer to your question you may be interested in the
Sweave package (see authors homepage at
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/ ) that allows you to
interleave LaTeX documents and R scripts for producing
reports/articles/presentations (using the LaTeX package prosper).
