Stargazer Tables: Mathematical Annotations

The stargazer package for R has two arguments: covariate.labels and column.labels, which customize the text of the table.

I want to use Greeks or mathematical expressions in these arguments. Ive tried the standard syntax for latex text and Ive tried the R expressions, as shown below:

covariate.labels = c($\beta_{0}$, $\beta_{1}$)
covariate.labels = c(expression(beta[0]), expression(beta[1]))

Ive also tested variations of the foregoing, and Im has not yet completed the basic annotations of math symbols. Any help is appreciated.

covariate.labelsmust be a character vector. Remember that you need to avoid backslashes with another slash in line R.

stargazer(mtcars[,1:2],covariate.labels=c("$\\beta_{0}$", "$\\beta_{1}$"))
