The goal of equatiomatic is to reduce the pain associated with writing LaTeX code from a fitted model. The package aims to support any model supported by broom. See the introduction to equatiomatic for currently supported models.

The gif above shows the basic functionality.
To convert a model to LaTeX, feed a model object to extract_eq():
library(equatiomatic)
# Fit a simple model
mod1 <- lm(mpg ~ cyl + disp, mtcars)
# Give the results to extract_eq
extract_eq(mod1)#> $$
#> \operatorname{mpg} = \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{cyl}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{disp}) + \epsilon
#> $$
The model can be built in any standard way. It can handle shortcut syntax:
#> $$
#> \operatorname{mpg} = \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{cyl}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{disp}) + \beta_{3}(\operatorname{hp}) + \beta_{4}(\operatorname{drat}) + \beta_{5}(\operatorname{wt}) + \beta_{6}(\operatorname{qsec}) + \beta_{7}(\operatorname{vs}) + \beta_{8}(\operatorname{am}) + \beta_{9}(\operatorname{gear}) + \beta_{10}(\operatorname{carb}) + \epsilon
#> $$
When using categorical variables, it will include the levels of the variables as subscripts. Here, we use data from the {palmerpenguins} dataset.
#> $$
#> \operatorname{body\_mass\_g} = \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{bill\_length\_mm}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{species}_{\operatorname{Chinstrap}}) + \beta_{3}(\operatorname{species}_{\operatorname{Gentoo}}) + \epsilon
#> $$
It helpfully preserves the order the variables are supplied in the formula:
set.seed(8675309)
d <- data.frame(cat1 = rep(letters[1:3], 100),
cat2 = rep(LETTERS[1:3], each = 100),
cont1 = rnorm(300, 100, 1),
cont2 = rnorm(300, 50, 5),
out = rnorm(300, 10, 0.5))
mod4 <- lm(out ~ cont1 + cat2 + cont2 + cat1, d)
extract_eq(mod4)#> $$
#> \operatorname{out} = \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{cont1}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{cat2}_{\operatorname{B}}) + \beta_{3}(\operatorname{cat2}_{\operatorname{C}}) + \beta_{4}(\operatorname{cont2}) + \beta_{5}(\operatorname{cat1}_{\operatorname{b}}) + \beta_{6}(\operatorname{cat1}_{\operatorname{c}}) + \epsilon
#> $$
You can wrap the equations so that a specified number of terms appear on the right-hand side of the equation using terms_per_line (defaults to 4):
#> $$
#> \begin{aligned}
#> \operatorname{mpg} &= \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{cyl}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{disp}) + \beta_{3}(\operatorname{hp})\ + \\
#> &\quad \beta_{4}(\operatorname{drat}) + \beta_{5}(\operatorname{wt}) + \beta_{6}(\operatorname{qsec}) + \beta_{7}(\operatorname{vs})\ + \\
#> &\quad \beta_{8}(\operatorname{am}) + \beta_{9}(\operatorname{gear}) + \beta_{10}(\operatorname{carb}) + \epsilon
#> \end{aligned}
#> $$
#> $$
#> \begin{aligned}
#> \operatorname{mpg} &= \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{cyl}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{disp}) + \beta_{3}(\operatorname{hp}) + \beta_{4}(\operatorname{drat}) + \beta_{5}(\operatorname{wt})\ + \\
#> &\quad \beta_{6}(\operatorname{qsec}) + \beta_{7}(\operatorname{vs}) + \beta_{8}(\operatorname{am}) + \beta_{9}(\operatorname{gear}) + \beta_{10}(\operatorname{carb}) + \epsilon
#> \end{aligned}
#> $$
When wrapping, you can change whether the lines end with trailing math operators like + (the default), or if they should begin with them using operator_location = "end" or operator_location = "start":
#> $$
#> \begin{aligned}
#> \operatorname{mpg} &= \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{cyl}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{disp}) + \beta_{3}(\operatorname{hp})\\
#> &\quad + \beta_{4}(\operatorname{drat}) + \beta_{5}(\operatorname{wt}) + \beta_{6}(\operatorname{qsec}) + \beta_{7}(\operatorname{vs})\\
#> &\quad + \beta_{8}(\operatorname{am}) + \beta_{9}(\operatorname{gear}) + \beta_{10}(\operatorname{carb}) + \epsilon
#> \end{aligned}
#> $$
By default, all text in the equation is wrapped in \operatorname{}. You can optionally have the variables themselves be italicized (i.e. not be wrapped in \operatorname{}) with ital_vars = TRUE:
#> $$
#> \begin{aligned}
#> mpg &= \alpha + \beta_{1}(cyl) + \beta_{2}(disp) + \beta_{3}(hp)\ + \\
#> &\quad \beta_{4}(drat) + \beta_{5}(wt) + \beta_{6}(qsec) + \beta_{7}(vs)\ + \\
#> &\quad \beta_{8}(am) + \beta_{9}(gear) + \beta_{10}(carb) + \epsilon
#> \end{aligned}
#> $$
If you include extract_eq() in an R Markdown chunk, knitr will render the equation. If you’d like to see the LaTeX code wrap the call in print().
You can also use the tex_preview() function from the texPreview package to preview the equation in RStudio:
Both extract_eq() and tex_preview() work with magrittr pipes, so you can do something like this:
library(magrittr) # or library(tidyverse) or any other package that exports %>%
extract_eq(mod1) %>%
tex_preview()There are several extra options you can enable with additional arguments to extract_eq().
You can return actual numeric coefficients instead of Greek letters with use_coefs = TRUE:
#> $$
#> \operatorname{\widehat{mpg}} = 34.66 - 1.59(\operatorname{cyl}) - 0.02(\operatorname{disp})
#> $$
By default, it will remove doubled operators like “+ -”, but you can keep those in (which is often useful for teaching) with fix_signs = FALSE:
#> $$
#> \operatorname{\widehat{mpg}} = 34.66 + -1.59(\operatorname{cyl}) + -0.02(\operatorname{disp})
#> $$
This works in longer wrapped equations:
#> $$
#> \begin{aligned}
#> \operatorname{\widehat{mpg}} &= 12.3 + -0.11(\operatorname{cyl}) + 0.01(\operatorname{disp})\ + \\
#> &\quad -0.02(\operatorname{hp}) + 0.79(\operatorname{drat}) + -3.72(\operatorname{wt})\ + \\
#> &\quad 0.82(\operatorname{qsec}) + 0.32(\operatorname{vs}) + 2.52(\operatorname{am})\ + \\
#> &\quad 0.66(\operatorname{gear}) + -0.2(\operatorname{carb})
#> \end{aligned}
#> $$
lm()You’re not limited to just lm models! equatiomatic supports many other models, including logistic regression, probit regression, and ordered logistic regression (with MASS::polr()).
glm()model_logit <- glm(sex ~ bill_length_mm + species,
data = penguins, family = binomial(link = "logit"))
extract_eq(model_logit, wrap = TRUE, terms_per_line = 3)#> $$
#> \begin{aligned}
#> \log\left[ \frac { P( \operatorname{sex} = \operatorname{male} ) }{ 1 - P( \operatorname{sex} = \operatorname{male} ) } \right] &= \alpha + \beta_{1}(\operatorname{bill\_length\_mm}) + \beta_{2}(\operatorname{species}_{\operatorname{Chinstrap}})\ + \\
#> &\quad \beta_{3}(\operatorname{species}_{\operatorname{Gentoo}})
#> \end{aligned}
#> $$

data = penguins, family = binomial(link = "probit"))
extract_eq(model_probit, wrap = TRUE, terms_per_line = 3)#> $$
