Page Layout ⇒ tableofcontents and section problem

[imdadullah]

dear!

I am writing my thesis.

as an example
I have the following code

Code: Select all

\chapter{Introduction}
\section{test}
some matter here

\subsection{adad}
dsafkasdf

\subsubsection{dka;kdsf}
dfaksdf;asdf
\chapter{literature Review}
adsakadf afadskf asdf

and so on

Now problem is

using \tableofcontents command

TOC produced but in each chapter chapter title also have number like

1 Introduction
1.1 test
1.1.1 asdf

2 Literature Review

I require that in each chapter, the chapter title appears without numbering but in TOC it appears with number.

When I use \section* or \chapter*
section starts from
0.1

plz help

Probably you can use titlesec or something like that, but it's hard to give concrete advice without a proper minimal working example. We don't even know what documentclass you're using.

I am using article documentclass

another strange thing is that on one system for article documentclass winedit never give any error when I use \chpater while on other it gives error, don't know why?

plz help.

The article class does not have chapters.

WinEDT does not generate errors; it just lists the ones LaTeX generates.

Without a proper minimal working example it is hard to guess how it is possible for you to be using chapters at all. Please click that link and read it, or else it will be hard to help you.

\subsection{Statement of problem}

For the last many years, the ordinary least squares (OLS) method has become one of the most widely used statistical methods to fit a linear regression model. 

The influence measures which are applied to detect influential observations in the OLS regression model are found easily because of the model simplicity. 

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Chatterjee and Hadi (1986),,,,
\item  The issue of discovering influential observation ,,,,,,
\item  ,,,,,,

In this research, we address the problems raised above. ....

It strange for me that I got final output using article class.

It's the natbib package that is allowing you to use chapters in an article. But they still aren't really supported -- it just is suppressing the error message. If you want chapters, use either the report or book class. Pick one of those, produce another minimal working example -- and do read that link and following the instructions to make it minimal, it's tedious to deal with a bunch of other stuff unrelated to the problem.
