Questions tagged [summarytools]

The "summarytools" tag is intended to be used in questions related to the R package of the same name.

summarytools is an R package focused on descriptive statistics. Its four core functions respectively produce:

  • Frequency tables
  • Cross-tabulations
  • Univariate numerical statitics
  • Dataframe summaries which combine elements of frequencies and numerical statistics, as well as graphical representations, missing data information, and variable labels

Its results can be displayed in the R console, but they can as easily be displayed in html documents formatted using Bootstrap CSS.
