I have been looking at some 'table' examples in Peter Dalgaard's ISwR book, and I am confused by how to get right justification of my table headings when I use the tables() command. Compare the following:
# Produces right justfified column names caff.marital=matrix(c(652,1537,598,242,36,46,38,21,218,327,106,67),nrow=3,byrow=T) colnames(caff.marital)=c("0","1-150","151-300",">300") rownames(caff.marital)=c("Married","Prev.married","Single") caff.marital class(caff.marital)
#Produces Left justified column names library(ISwR) data(juul) attach(juul) sex.tan=table(sex,tanner) colnames(sex.tan)=c("I","II","IIII","IV","V") rownames(sex.tan)=c("M","F") sex.tan class(sex.tan)
# Finally, look at (left justified) as.table(caff.marital)
Somehow PD got right justified columns with this dataset. Is there a new way of doing things in version 2.0.0, my ignorance, a bug? I tried making the columns factors first, but in my hands this did not appear to help either. Thanks for any insight.
[Since this question seems to be unanswered:]
This is a question related to Peter Dalgaard's book, so why don't you ask the author rather than the whole world?
Note that caff.materia is a matrix while as.table(caff.marital) is a table (and has a different print method).
Why does the justification matter here? I'm much too lazy to look for changes in R related to your question - but probably you have done yourself before asking the question...???
And why don't you cite the example you are referring to (e.g. by a page number!!!) exactly? I'm also too lazy to read Peter's book once more just in order to find the example you are talking about!
