[Tex/LaTex] RStudio regression table into beamer slide

beamerrstudiotables

I have a very basic Rstudio regression output table inputing in Latex issue. I get an error message pointing me to the end of the frame part, after the table and I can't see what's wrong. Here is the code I am using.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,relsize}

\begin{document}
\title{Formative work2}   
\author{Antoine Zerbini} 
\date{\today} 

\frame{\titlepage} 

\frame{\frametitle{Table of contents}\tableofcontents} 


\section{Section no.1} 
\frame{\frametitle{Title} 
Each frame should have a title.
}
\subsection{Subsection no.1.1  }
\frame{ 
Without title somethink is missing. 
}


\section{Section no. 2} 
\subsection{Lists I}
\frame{\frametitle{unnumbered lists}

\begin{table}[!htbp] \centering 
  \caption{Results FX} 
  \label{} 

\begin{tabular}{@{\extracolsep{5pt}}lD{.}{.}{-3} D{.}{.}{-3} } 
\\[-1.8ex]\hline

 StudentStaffRatio & 0.413^{***} & 0.412^{***} \\ 
  & (0.061) & (0.061) \\

 controls.rank &  & -0.0003^{*} \\ 
  &  & (0.0002) \\

\hline \\[-1.8ex] 
Observations & \multicolumn{1}{c}{1,002} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{1,002} \\ 
R$^{2}$ & \multicolumn{1}{c}{0.048} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{0.051} \\ 
Adjusted R$^{2}$ & \multicolumn{1}{c}{-0.048} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{-0.046} \\ 
F Statistic & \multicolumn{1}{c}{45.943$^{***}$ (df = 1; 909)} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{24.388$^{***}$ (df = 2; 908)} \\ 
\hline 
\hline \\[-1.8ex] 
\textit{Note:}  & \multicolumn{2}{r}{$^{*}$p$<$0.1; $^{**}$p$<$0.05; $^{***}$p$<$0.01} \\

\end{table} }

Best Answer

The source of your problem is a missing \usepackage{dcolumn}.

Some other comments:

  • you don't need graphicx with beamer

  • \author{}, \title{} etc. should, if possible, be used before \begin{document}

  • better use \begin{frame}...\end{frame} instead of \frame{}

  • defining an empty \label{} does not make sense

  • your table has lots of empty lines and manual spaces, instead of these hacks use the booktabs package to get better spacing in your table.

  • with the default beamer font size, your table was too big for a single frame, I choose a smaller font size instead. Even better would be to change the layout of the table. The columns 2 and 3 are unnecessary wide because of the last row.

  • because of the excessive use of \multicolumn, some of the minus sigs where typeset as -

  • the rapid changing between math mode and text mode messed up the spacing for the equations in from the "note"

  • I don't know much about the dcolumn package, but please check the used options for the alignment, it looks off. (personally I prefer the siunitx package to align numbers in columns, see Formatting table with siunitx: problem with parentheses and signs on how to align statistic tables)

Moral of the story: automatically produced code is ugly and needs manual adjustments. Don't just use it as it is.

An attempt to clean the code up a bit (some of the \multicolumn are still unnecessary):
