In AndrewKostandy/MLtoolkit: Functions to Help with Machine Learning & Feature Engineering Tasks

Description

This function allows you to get key percentiles (1, 25, 50, 75, 99) of the variables in a dataframe & their interquartile range values.

Any non-numeric columns in the dataframe would be ignored.

The function ignores NA values within the columns.

Usage
