Is there a way to use the rgroup option without creating horizontal rules separating the groups?
For example, say I have the following matrix containing sample sizes, means, and standard deviations, for three groups of male and female participants: > descriptives n Mean SD Male "2" "0.703" "-0.809" Female "3" "0.533" "-0.376" Male "2" "2.097" "-0.534" Female "3" "0.843" " 0.966" Male "2" "0.350" " 0.149" Female "3" "0.685" " 0.600" I try typesetting the table with > latex(descriptives, title="", file="", label="tab:descript", ctable=TRUE, > caption="Means and standard deviations by condition and sex", > colheads=c("Condition", "n", "Mean", "SD"), rgroup=c("One", "Two", "Three")) which results in \ctable[ caption={Means and standard deviations by condition and sex}, label=tab:descript, pos=!tbp, ]{llll} {} {\FL\multicolumn{1}{l}{Condition}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{n}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{Mean}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{SD} \ML {\bfseries One}&&&\NN ~~Male&2&0.703&-0.809\NN ~~Female&3&0.533&-0.376 \ML {\bfseries Two}&&&\NN ~~Male&2&2.097&-0.534\NN ~~Female&3&0.843& 0.966 \ML {\bfseries Three}&&&\NN ~~Male&2&0.350& 0.149\NN ~~Female&3&0.685& 0.600 \LL } but I want \ctable[ caption={Means and standard deviations by condition and sex}, label=tab:descript, pos=!tbp, ]{llll} {} {\FL\multicolumn{1}{l}{Condition}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{n}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{Mean}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{SD} \ML {\bfseries One}&&&\NN ~~Male&2&0.703&-0.809\NN ~~Female&3&0.533&-0.376\NN {\bfseries Two}&&&\NN ~~Male&2&2.097&-0.534\NN ~~Female&3&0.843& 0.966\NN {\bfseries Three}&&&\NN ~~Male&2&0.350& 0.149\NN ~~Female&3&0.685& 0.600 \LL } i.e, I want the horizontal rules separating the row groups omitted. Can this be done?
