That table below is not the table from your first mail.
However I would do something like:
library(xtable)
testdata<-data.frame(gender=c(rep("male",3),rep("female",4))
testtab<-as.data.frame(table(testdata))
pct<-function(x){
x/sum(x)*100
}
testtab$percent<-pct(testtab$Freq)
rownames(testtab)<-c(1,2)
colnames(testtab)<-c("gender","Freq","%")
#it looks like:
testtab
#and latex:
xtable(testtab,digits=2)
% latex table generated in R 2.5.0 by xtable 1.4-6 package
% Wed Jun 20 18:25:22 2007
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rlrr}
\hline
& gender & Freq & \% \\
\hline
1 & female & 3 & 42.86 \\
2 & male & 4 & 57.14 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
I hope this is now how expected.
Cheers
Stefan
