Make pretty labels from variable names

make.label

Mainly used to prettyfy the rownames of anova tables.

make.label(x, l = list(l1 = c("_", " at "), l2 = c(":",
  " interaction with "), l3 = c(".", " ")))

Arguments

x	Character
l	List Each first element is gsubised by the second element of the list

Value

A character

Details

Replace with gsub function each first element of l[[i]] by the second element of l[[i]] for each element of x.

Examples

data(datafake)
an=anova(lm(y_numeric~y_logistic+GROUP:TIMEPOINT,data=datafake))
