Gabor,

Thanks for the advice. Using the 'rowlabel' switch works, but when used with the 'collabel' switch, I received the following error in Latex 2e:

! LaTeX Error: Illegal character in array arg.

The line that LaTeX has issue with is:

\multicolumn{1}{observed}{uh}&

The entire table looks like:

\begin{table}[!tbp]
 \begin{center}
 \begin{tabular}{lrr}\hline\hline
\multicolumn{1}{l}{predicted}&
\multicolumn{1}{observed}{uh}&
\multicolumn{1}{l}{uh~}
\tabularnewline \hline
uh&$201$&$30$\tabularnewline
uh~&$  6$&$10$\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

I know that LaTeX has issues with unescaped tildes, but it does not explain why I get this error.

Try the latex function in the Hmisc package.  Using the state.*
variables built into R for sake of example:

library(Hmisc)
latex(table(state.division, state.region), rowlabel = "X", collabel =
"Y", file = "")

Dear R-philes:

I am having an issue with exporting contingency tables with xtable(). I set up a contingency and convert it to a matrix for passing to xtable() as shown
below.

v.cont.table <- table(v_lda$class, grps,
       dnn=c("predicted", "observed"))
v.cont.mat <- as.matrix(v.cont.table)

Both produce output as follows:

               observed
predicted  uh uh~
     uh  201  30
     uh~   6  10

However, when I construct the latex table with xtable(v.cont.mat), I get a
good table without the headings of "predicted" and "observed".

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
 \hline
 & uh & uh\~{} \\
 \hline
uh & 201 &  30 \\
 uh\~{} &   6 &  10 \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

Question: is there any easy way to retain or re-insert the dimension names
from the contingency table and matrix?
