How to export an R dataframe to LaTeX

You can export an R dataframe to LaTeX format by using the xtable package in R, which is specifically designed for converting tables into LaTeX code.

Below is an example of how to do this:

  1. Install and load the xtable package.
  2. Create or use an existing dataframe.
  3. Convert the dataframe to LaTeX code using xtable.
  4. Print the LaTeX code.

Here is the complete example:

# Install the xtable package if you haven't already
install.packages("xtable")

# Load the xtable package
library(xtable)

# Create a sample dataframe
df <- data.frame(
  Feature = c("feature1", "feature2", "feature3", "feature4"),
  AIC = c(123.45, 135.67, 145.89, 154.32),
  BIC = c(130.45, 142.67, 152.89, 161.32)
)

# Convert the dataframe to LaTeX format
latex_table <- xtable(df)

# Print the LaTeX code to the console
print(latex_table)

If you want to export the LaTeX code to a .tex file, you can do so by redirecting the output:

# Save the LaTeX code to a .tex file
fileConn <- file("dataframe_table.tex")
writeLines(print(latex_table, type = "latex"), fileConn)
close(fileConn)
