Source: R/get_stats.R
get_stats.Rd

Calculates a particular set of summary statistics for a dataset.

Usage

get_stats(x)

Arguments

x

a numeric matrix or data frame with at least 2 columns/variables. Each column contains observations on a different variable. Missing observations are not allowed.

Value

A named list of summary statistics containing

  • n The sample size.

  • means The sample means of each variable.

  • variances The sample means of each variable.

  • correlation The sample correlation matrix.

  • intercepts,slopes,rsquared Matrices whose (i,j)th entries are the estimated regression coefficients in a regression of x[, i] on x[, j] and the resulting coefficient of determination \(R^2\).
