Have a look at library memisc (especially function mtable)
It contains a nice and quite flexible way to produce tables from estimated results.

Thank you so much for this. I have been using Stata for years and am working on switching to R but could not figure out how to do exactly this. Cheers.

Thanks for this — I just discovered that a stupid data file I acquired in SPSS was encoded right, but not tagged right; and spss doesn’t export to anything helpful. This little trick definitely helps and now this table is in mysql where it belongs (properly utf8-ified even if various DBD layers don’t tag it). Honestly, for most of our data plain utf8 csv or sql would be a heck of a lot more useful than crappy binary formats that people treat as standards.

I also have transfered files with ntfs3g/fuse btw with no problem… but that’s after the hassle of building both from source, so I know it’s the same libiconv.

I just don’t remember the New York Times, or the Washington Post, calling an American president with similar language. (Not that FSP is by any means comparable to NYT or the Post … ) Any examples will be very much appreciated!

I wasn’t offended… I just wondered if similar derogatory treatment was common practice outside Brazil, or for a Brazilian president other than Lula.

Making fun of the president is a common practice is the States and Bearded toad is MILD compared to what they call President Bush.
Are you offended because you are a supporter or because you are from the Northeast. Or were you not offended at all?

How could a classification tree be “too prone to error by interviewers?” The best thing about trees is that a 3rd grader could figure them out.
