[R] problem with latex of object summary reverse

[Philippe Glaziou]

Hi,

I have the following problem (library Hmisc loaded, 
iris data loaded, R Version 1.7.0  (2003-04-16), packages 
updated, running on a linux Debian i386):

> summary(Species~Sepal.Length,method="reverse")->a
> a


Descriptive Statistics by Species

+------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|            |setosa           |versicolor       |virginica
|
|            |(N=50)           |(N=50)           |(N=50)
|
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|Sepal.Length|4.800/5.000/5.200|5.600/5.900/6.300|6.225/6.500/6.900|
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+


> latex(a)->la


works ok, but the a.tex generated file is wrong: a '&' is
missing on the line ending with '%%%% wrong', resulting in the
(N=50) of the second row being put on the first column, like:

+------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|            |setosa           |versicolor       |virginica
|
|(N=50)      |(N=50)           |(N=50)           |
|
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|Sepal.Length|4.800/5.000/5.200|5.600/5.900/6.300|6.225/6.500/6.900|
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+



> system("cat a.tex")


% latex.default(cstats, title = title, caption = caption,
rowlabel = rowlabel,      col.just = col.just,
numeric.dollar = FALSE, insert.bottom = legend,      rowname
= lab, dcolumn = dcolumn, extracolheads = extracolheads,
extracolsize = Nsize, ...) 
%
\begin{table}[!tbp]
 \begin{center}
 \caption{Descriptive Statistics by Species\label{a}} 
 \begin{tabular}{lccc}\hline\hline
\multicolumn{1}{l}{}&
\multicolumn{1}{c}{setosa}&
\multicolumn{1}{c}{versicolor}&
\multicolumn{1}{c}{virginica}
\\   \multicolumn{1}{l}{{\scriptsize	         %%%% wrong
$N=50$}}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{{\scriptsize
$N=50$}}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{{\scriptsize $N=50$}}\\ \hline
Sepal.Length&{\scriptsize 4.800~}{5.000 }{\scriptsize 5.200}
&{\scriptsize 5.600~}{5.900 }{\scriptsize 6.300}
&{\scriptsize 6.225~}{6.500 }{\scriptsize 6.900} \\

[...]



Any idea about what I might be doing wrong here? I can
reproduce that problem with summary(method="reverse") on
other datasets, and various combinations of options passed
to the latex command. 

Thanks
