I'm trying to write this equation using the papaja package:
\begin{equation}
\tag{1}
$$LogVolume_(dcr)=$\alpha$ +$\beta$DMonday+$\gamma$DTuesday+...+$\delta$DSaturday+ $\epsilon$ $$
\end{equation}
It is a basic regression model equation but I'm having issues when trying to knit to pdf. I wrote it according to this article
I get the following error in the output:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.137 $$\LogVolume
_(dcr)=$\alpha$ +$\beta$DMonday+$\gamma$DTuesday+...+$\del...
Error: Failed to compile bbbb.tex. See https://yihui.name/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips.
See bbbb.log for more info.
Can anyone help me understand where the problem is? Thank you very much!
It's hard to know for sure - it might matter whether you're trying to compile to HTML or PDF, for example, and what else is in your document - but this works for me in an HTML document:
\begin{equation}
\tag{1}
\textrm{LogVolume}_{dcr}=\alpha +\beta \cdot \textrm{DMonday}+
\gamma \cdot \textrm{DTuesday} +...+\delta \cdot \textrm{DSaturday}+ \epsilon
\end{equation}
Basically, I eliminated unnecessary $s. (I also made your variables Roman rather than italic; used {} around your subscript; and added center-dots for multiplication.)
