Background

As I do exploratory data analysis, I often find myself wondering about a variety of stats that both the summary() and the glimpse() functions are unable to provide. For instance, I like to know the mean, median, standared deviation, 5th percentile, 10th percentile, etc. While the aforementioned functions do a good job of providing some insight, I felt the need to develop a more powerful way of getting the summaries I wanted.

Hence, the tellme package was born.

The goal of tellme is to provide a much better summary of the different numeric and non-numeric columns of data. Often, I find that the summary() or the dplyr::glimpse() functions are unable to provide a comprehensive summary of the underlying data.
