Hello,

I have a dataframe (var_1, var_2, ..., var_n) and I would like to export summary statistics to Latex in the form of a table. I want specific summary statistics by crossing numerous variables 2x2 AT ONCE. In each cell I would like sometimes to have the median (Q1 - Q3), or frequency and proportion, etc. CrossTable, xtab, etc... do not allow for multiple 2 by 2 crosstabulation. The table would look like this:

         var_1  var_2     var3, ...
var_1   a        b            c
var_2   d        e            f
var_3   ..     ...         ...

with a, b, c, ... the results of each crosstabulation. I have continuous and categorical variables.

Any idea?

The problem I face is you have used too many "..."'s, and "etc"'s and not enough R code. You probably have a clear idea what "summary statistics by crossing numerous variables 2x2 AT ONCE" means but I do not. It is possible that the describe.formula in Hmisc or the summaryBy function in the doBy package may be helpful, but that is merely a guess.


Thank you very much,

David.
