Hello everyone,
Peter (see my earlier post) recommended the following script for finding the
means and standard deviations and putting them in table form.

However, I would like the standard deviations under the means in brackets.
Can anyone check this code to see how this can be adjusted?


library(xtable)
dataset1 = matrix( c(1,2,3,4, 5, 6 ), 2 , 3)
dataset2 = matrix( c(4,3,5,10, 1, 0), 2, 3)

dataset<- rbind(dataset1,dataset2)  #combine dataset

means<- apply(dataset,1,mean)  #calculate row means
sds<- apply(dataset,1,sd)      #calculate row standard deviation

msd<- paste(round(means,2)," (",round(sds,2),")",sep="") #mean and
standard deviation

rn<- c("Var1","Var2")  #rownames
cn<- c("Dataset1","Dataset2") #column names
tab<- matrix(msd,2,2,dimnames=list(rn,cn))

tab
     Dataset1 Dataset2
Var1 "3 (2)"  "3.33 (2.08)"
Var2 "4 (2)"  "4.33 (5.13)"

xtable(tab)


You can use the same idea to construct an appropriate matrix:

 matm <- matrix(round(means, 2), 2, 2)
 mats <- matrix(paste("(",round(sds, 2),")"), 2, 2)
 mat <- rbind(matm, c(" "," "), mats)  # note the spaces
 mat <- mat[c(1,4,3,2,5), ]
 colnames(mat) <- c("Dataset1","Dataset2")
 rownames(mat) <- c("Var1", " ", "  ", "Var2", "   ")
      # note 1,2,3 spaces to make rownames unique
 mat.tb <- xtable(mat, align=c("r","c","c"))
 mat.tb
