Hi Olga, Here is how I would approach this problem. I hope it is instructive.
library(vegan) data(BCI) mod <- radfit(BCI[1,]) class(mod) #find out what mod is methods(class="radfit") #find out what methods are available for objects of this class. Nothing looks promising, so define a summary method for it, based on the print method print.radfit #look to see how the print method is defined. Copy this function and modify it, as shown below. summary.radfit <- function (x, digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 2), ...) { # modify the funciton to eliminate the header info # cat("\nRAD models, family", x$family$family, "\n") # cat("No. of species ", length(x$y), ", total abundance ", # sum(x$y), "\n\n", sep = "") p <- coef(x) if (any(!is.na(p))) p <- formatC(p, format = "g", flag = " ", digits = digits) p <- apply(p, 2, function(x) gsub("NA", " ", x)) aic <- sapply(x$models, AIC) bic <- sapply(x$models, AIC, k = log(length(x$y))) dev <- sapply(x$models, deviance) stats <- format(cbind(Deviance = dev, AIC = aic, BIC = bic), digits = digits, ...) out <- cbind(p, stats) #modify the funciton so it doesn't print the result #print(out, quote = FALSE) return(out) #modify the function to return the summary matrix. } library(xtable) xtable(summary(mod))# enjoy the fruits of our labor!
