R to Latex packages - coverage
There are now quite a few R packages to turn cross-tables and fitted models into nicely formatted latex. In a previous post I showed how to use one of them to display regression tables on the fly. In this post I summarise what types of R object each of the major packages can deal with.
Unsurprisingly, there's quite some variation...
The packages I'm looking at here are: apsrtable (v0.8-8), xtable (v1.7-1), stargazer (v3.0.1), memisc (v0.96-3) and texreg (v1.22).
I should note that all of these packages also allow users to add their own latex representation for new R objects. However, I couldn't be bothered to track down all these additions, so this post only deals with what each package can do without any extra work.
Also, several of these packages can typeset data.frame and matrix
objects too. While that can be incredibly handy, it is outside the
focus of this post so I've left it out. Cross-tables are only just
processed enough to deserve a mention. And we won't even talk about
generating HTML (well, not until the notes anyway).
Finally, I haven't checked all of this information. The table is filled on the basis of my experience and the package documentation. If something is wrong or incomplete then please let me know in the comments.

Notes
In case you are curious, a first version of this table was generated
using the print.xtable function of the
xtable package with
type=html before being adjusted in place. If these posts haven't
given you the idea yet: I detest doing this sort of thing by hand.
Liviu (in the comments) also mentions the
estout package. I've never used it, but
apparently it deals with lm and plm models and is modeled after a
Stata command of the same name.
