R help - Feb 2009 - summary statistics

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a function that can return summary statistics:
N=total number of observation, # missing, mean, median, range, standard
deviation.

As I know, summary() returns some of info I've mentioned above.

Thanks,
SY

describe() in Hmisc provides much of the rest of what you asked for:

 > describe(pref900$TCHDL)
pref900$TCHDL
       n missing  unique    Mean     .05     .10     .25     .50     . 
75     .90     .95
  906190    4469   16051   4.123   2.320   2.557   3.061   3.841    
4.886   6.054   6.867

lowest :  0.9342  1.0200  1.0522  1.1008  1.1061, highest: 19.8696  
20.1667 20.7619 21.6364 21.7200

Dear SY,

Also take a look at basicStats in the fBasics package.

# fBasics package
install.packages('fBasics')
require(fBasics)

# For reproducibility
set.seed(123)

# Some data
x<-c(NA,rnorm(10),NA)
basicStats(x)


HTH,

Jorge
