I wonder how to get xtable of MANOVA object obtained with car package. Here is MWE:
library(xtable)
library(car)
MANOVA <- Anova(lm(cbind(Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na) ~ Site, data=Pottery))
xtable(MANOVA)
Error in UseMethod("xtable") : no applicable method for 'xtable' applied to an object of class "Anova.mlm"
The problem is that xtable
has a method for objects of class anova
, but the car
package's Anova
function returns an object of class anova.mlm
. I found a fix at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-June/201478.html:
library(xtable)
library(car)
# Create some example data
Pottery <- data.frame(
"Al" = rnorm(10),
"Fe" = rnorm(10),
"Mg" = rnorm(10),
"Ca" = rnorm(10),
"Na" = rnorm(10),
"Site" = sample(LETTERS[1:2], 10, replace = TRUE))
# Create a custom function handling `anova.mlm` objects
xtable.Anova.mlm <- function (x, ...) {
test <- x$test
repeated <- x$repeated
ntests <- length(x$terms)
tests <- matrix(NA, ntests, 4)
if (!repeated)
SSPE.qr <- qr(x$SSPE)
for (term in 1:ntests) {
eigs <- Re(eigen(qr.coef(if (repeated) qr(x$SSPE[[term]]) else
SSPE.qr,
x$SSP[[term]]), symmetric = FALSE)$values)
tests[term, 1:4] <- switch(test, Pillai = stats:::Pillai(eigs,
x$df[term], x$error.df), Wilks = stats:::Wilks(eigs,
x$df[term], x$error.df), `Hotelling-Lawley` = stats:::HL(eigs,
x$df[term], x$error.df), Roy = stats:::Roy(eigs,
x$df[term], x$error.df))
}
ok <- tests[, 2] >= 0 & tests[, 3] > 0 & tests[, 4] > 0
ok <- !is.na(ok) & ok
tests <- cbind(x$df, tests, pf(tests[ok, 2], tests[ok, 3],
tests[ok, 4], lower.tail = FALSE))
rownames(tests) <- x$terms
colnames(tests) <- c("Df", "test stat", "approx F", "num Df",
"den Df", "Pr(>F)")
tests <- structure(as.data.frame(tests), heading = paste("\nType ",
x$type, if (repeated)
" Repeated Measures", " MANOVA Tests: ", test, " test
statistic",
sep = ""), class = c("anova", "data.frame"))
# print(tests)
# invisible(x)
xtable(tests)
}
MANOVA <- Anova(lm(cbind(Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na) ~ Site, data=Pottery))
xtable(MANOVA)
