stat.pen: Pennington statistics on a data frame or time series

Description

Compute a table giving various descriptive statistics, including Pennington's estimators of the mean, the variance and the variance of the mean, about the series in a data frame or in a single/multiple time series

Usage

stat.pen(x, basic=FALSE, desc=FALSE)

Arguments

x

a data frame or a time series

basic

do we have to return also basic statistics (by default, it is FALSE)? These are: the number of values (nbr.val), the number of null values (nbr.null), the number of missing values (nbr.na), the minimal value (min), the maximal value (max), the range (rang

desc

do we have to return also various descriptive statistics (by default, it is FALSE)? These are: the median (median), the mean (mean), the standard error on the mean (SE.mean), the confidence interval of the mean (CI.mean) at the p level, the v

Value

• a data frame with the various statistics in rows and with each column correponding to a variable in the data frame, or to a separate time series
