Create Multi-Format Regression Tables.

easytable

Create regression tables that are easy to use and easy to read.

easytable is a workhorse table package for lm() and glm() models with predictable defaults across Word/HTML and LaTeX/PDF outputs.

Why easytable

• One main function: easytable()
• Code that is easy to use and tables that are easy to read
• Coherent output style across formats
• Optional export to .docx and .csv
• Control-variable indicators (like Stata)

Install

To install easytable please run the command below:

install.packages("easytable")

Quick Start (Penguins)

library(easytable)
library(palmerpenguins)

m1 <- lm(body_mass_g ~ flipper_length_mm, data = penguins)
m2 <- lm(body_mass_g ~ flipper_length_mm + species, data = penguins)
m3 <- lm(body_mass_g ~ flipper_length_mm + species + island, data = penguins)

# Default output is Word/flextable (also prints in HTML contexts)
easytable(m1, m2, m3)

Core Usage Patterns

1) Basic table

easytable(m1, m2, m3)

2) Custom model names

easytable(
  m1, m2, m3,
  model.names = c("Baseline", "With Species", "Full Model")
)

3) Control indicators

easytable(
  m1, m2, m3,
  control.var = c("species", "island")
)

4) Highlight significant coefficients

easytable(
  m1, m2, m3,
  highlight = TRUE
)

5) LaTeX output

easytable(
  m1, m2, m3,
  output = "latex"
)

6) Export files

easytable(
  m1, m2, m3,
  export.word = "mytable.docx",
  export.csv = "mytable.csv"
)

Advanced Options

Robust standard errors

easytable(m1, m2, robust.se = TRUE)

Marginal effects

easytable(m1, m2, margins = TRUE)

Robust SE + marginal effects

easytable(m1, m2, robust.se = TRUE, margins = TRUE)

Supported Model Classes

The easytable supports the following models:

• lm()
• glm()

Design Invariants

easytable enforces these defaults:

1. Coefficient and SE share one cell with a real line break.
2. Zebra striping applies only to coefficient rows.
3. No per-coefficient horizontal rules.
4. Exactly one divider between coefficient rows and model-stat rows.
5. Control indicators belong to the model-stat block.
