[R] Summary Stats (not summary(x))

I'm looking for a function that lists a few summary stats for a column (or row) of data. I'm aware of summary(x), but that does not give me what I'm looking for. I'm actually looking for something that is very similar to the descriptive statistics tool in excel; i.e. Mean, Std. Error, Std.

There are describe functions in prettyR and Hmisc packages and doSummary in doBy. On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 11:15 AM, nmarti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for a function that lists a few summary stats for a column (or row) of data. I'm aware of summary(x), but that does not give me what

Why don't you write it for yourself, it takes less time than writing an email: mysummary - function(x) { require(plotrix) require(e1071) c(Mean=mean(x), Std.Error=std.error(x), Std.Deviation=sd(x), Kurtosis=kurtosis(x)) } Gabor On Wed, Jul 09, 2008 at 08:15:00AM -0700, nmarti wrote:

I think the function describe() in the package psych will give you want you want. There are other similar functions in the library Simple as well. Harold nmarti wrote: I'm looking for a function that lists a few summary stats for a column (or row) of data. I'm aware of summary(x), but

Thanks for your replies. basicStats(x) in fBasics is exactly what I was looking for. nmarti wrote: I'm looking for a function that lists a few summary stats for a column (or row) of data. I'm aware of summary(x), but that does not give me what I'm looking for. I'm actually looking for

Re: [R] Summary Stats (not summary(x))

Thanks Gabor. I was able to create a function that works really well. One more quick question if you don't mind. I want to report the number of observations also (i.e. n = 5420). What function would do this? I really can't find anything that would just simply count the number of x's. Thanks

Re: [R] Summary Stats (not summary(x))

The two describe functions have it. Maybe the one in psych too? Also see valid.n in the prettyR package and of course there is length, nrows and dim. On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 8:53 PM, nmarti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Gabor. I was able to create a function that works really well. One more

OK, never-mind. I found length(x). It's been a long day. Gabor Csardi wrote: Why don't you write it for yourself, it takes less time than writing an email: mysummary - function(x) { require(plotrix) require(e1071) c(Mean=mean(x), Std.Error=std.error(x), Std.Deviation=sd(x),
