In ropenscilabs/skimr: Compact and Flexible Summaries of Data

Introduction

This vignette simply displays the default data types and summary functions for skimr. Customizing skimr is explained in the Using Skimr vignette.

The base skimmers

skimr has a group of functions that it applies to all data types. We call these the "base"" skimmers:

• n_missing: The number of missing values in the column.
• complete_rate: The ratio of non-missing values to the total values in the column.

Default skimmers

To learn more about the functions used in this package, use the function get_default_skimmer_names().

library(skimr)
get_default_skimmer_names()

The counterpart to this function is get_default_skimmers(), which returns the functions themselves. If you are interested in a particular class within skimr, pass it as a string to either function.

get_default_skimmer_names("numeric")

The same information is stored in the skimmers_used attribute of the object returned by skim().
