How to Extract Summary Statistics from stargazer Objects in R
Introduction The problem presented in the Stack Overflow post is about obtaining data frames from a list of objects created using the stargazer function in R. The function generates a table with summary statistics for a given dataset, but the resulting list object contains the actual data instead of just the summary statistics. This makes it difficult to work with the output directly. Background The stargazer function is used to create tables from datasets in various formats, including data frames and matrices.
