EDIT: I CHANGED THE SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE BLOG AND THE CODE BLOCK BELOW GOT MESSED UP. ALL SLASHES ARE GONE. BEWARE I did my proposal yesterday and it went well 😀

I used beamer to prepare my slide deck and was very pleased with how easy it was to work with. R already has functionality to export tables to Latex format and they looked gorgeous in beamer.

I wanted to highlight certain parts of the results table and discuss the results as they relate to hypothesis. I achieved this through tikzmarkin and tikspicture. Below is an example and above is how it looks.

\documentclass{beamer}

% for themes, etc.
mode<presentation>
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\usecolortheme{beaver}

\usepackage{times} % fonts are up to you
\usepackage{graphicx}
% The usual suspects
\usepackage{multirow, booktabs, dcolumn, color} % Tables
% The table highlighting for hypothesis discussion.
\usepackage[beamer,customcolors]{hf-tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

% To set the hypothesis highlighting boxes red.
\tikzset{hl/.style={
set fill color=red!80!black!40,
set border color=red!80!black,
},
}
