desc: Descriptive Univariate Statistics for Numerical Data

Description

Calculates mean, standard deviation, min, max, median, MAD, IQR, CV, skewness, SE.skewness, and kurtosis.

Usage

desc(x, na.rm=TRUE, round.digits=2, echo=TRUE, transpose=FALSE,
     style="simple", justify="right", plain.ascii=TRUE, file=NA,
     append=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

Numerical vector.

na.rm

argument to be passed to statistical functions. Defaults to TRUE.

round.digits

Number of sig. digits to keep. Defaults to 2.

echo

If TRUE, pander tables will be displayed. Defaults to TRUE.

transpose

Makes variables appears as columns, and stats as rows. Defaults to FALSE.

style

Style of pander tables. Defaults to "grid".

justify

Pander argument. Defaults to "right".

plain.ascii

Pander argument. Defaults to TRUE.

file

File name to write output to. Defaults to NA. When this argument is supplied, the table is not echoed to the console. To append output into an existing text file, use append=TRUE.
