Sweave - Interface entre R e LaTeX
Cassiano Sousa Rosa & Og DeSouza
Resumo: É comum depararmos com o problema da gravação em arquivos separados dos comandos e dos gráficos, se o sistema estatístico R é utilizado. Outro problema seria localizar o código que originou aquele determinado gráfico. Para as pessoas que utilizam o R e também têm familiaridade com o LaTeX, agora existe uma boa solução para este problema, o Sweave.
Abstract: When using R for statistical analyses, it is common to keep the data analyses, the results of experiments, and graphs in separate files. Fortunately, for R users who also use LaTeX, there is a tool for organizing these files: Sweave! This paper presents a very short account on how Sweave integrates R and LaTeX to keep both input and output of statistical analyses in a single style file.
