Descriptive statistics

Description

describe constructs a named vector that contains various descriptive statistics of numeric data.

Usage

describe(x, confidence = 0.05, digits = 2)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector.
confidence	confidence level (default of 0.05) for resulting confidence interval calculation.
digits	integer (defaults to 2) specifying the number of significant digits for the resulting descriptive statistics

Value

A numeric vector containig the following information:

n

sample size

mean

mean

StDev

standard deviation

StErr

standard error of the mean

CI

confidence interval width

RSE

relative standard error

RMSE

Examples

# Example
data(BSB)
describe(BSB$TL, digits = 4)
# Example 2
with(BSB, aggregate(TL ~ Age, FUN = describe, digits = 4))
