Statistical Summary of a Data Frame

Description

This function produces another summary of a data.frame. This function was proposed to be able to apply some functions globally on a data.frame: quantile, median, min and max. The usual R version cannot do so.

Usage

 moreStats(x, quantile=0.95, show=FALSE)
 

Arguments

x numeric: matrix or data.frame.
quantile numeric: quantile of the distribution.
show logical: if TRUE prints the quantile chosen.

Value

values numeric: data.frame of statistics: mean, median, quantile, standard deviation, minimum and maximum.
