starpolishr

This package allows for easy post polishing of latex stargazer output. See this vignette for a quick introduction. For examples, see the Tables section of my papers here and here. All of these tables were generated exclusively within R using stargazer and starpolishr.

Installation

You can install starpolishr from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ChandlerLutz/starpolishr")

Quick Tips

• The first argument in all starpolishr functions is a stargazer table, allowing for easy compatibility with the magrittr %>%.
• All of the functions in the starpolishr package begin with star_ for easy tab completion in emacs or rstudio.

Key Functions

Here is a list of key starpolishr functions in order of how often I use them. See their help files for more details.

• star_tex_notes -- Adds custom notes using either the latex caption or the latex threeparttable.
• star_tex_write -- writes latex tables to a file and optionally adds header files and common packages
• star_lhs_names and star_rhs_names -- updates variable names using regular expressions. The advantage of these functions is that they allow for variable names to span more than one line.
• star_panel -- panels multiple related stargazer tables into a single latex table.
• star_insert_row -- insert a row after a given row in a stargazer table
• star_sidewaystable -- converts a latex table to a latex sidewaystable
• star_add_column_numbers -- if you pass a matrix to stargazer, it won't add column numbers. This function will add column numbers to a latex table.
