focus: Only show a subset of summary statistics after skimming

In ropenscilabs/skimr: Compact and Flexible Summaries of Data

Only show a subset of summary statistics after skimming

Description

This function is a variant of dplyr::select() designed to work with skim_df objects. When using focus(), skimr metadata columns are kept, and skimr print methods are still utilized. Otherwise, the signature and behavior is identical to dplyr::select().

Usage

focus(.data, ...)

Arguments

.data	A skim_df object.
...	One or more unquoted expressions separated by commas. Variable names can be used as if they were positions in the data frame, so expressions like x:y can be used to select a range of variables.

Examples

# Compare
iris %>%
  skim() %>%
  dplyr::select(n_missing)

iris %>%
  skim() %>%
  focus(n_missing)

# This is equivalent to
iris %>%
  skim() %>%
  dplyr::select(skim_variable, skim_type, n_missing)
