Check your data You can inspect your data using the functions head() and tails(), which will display the first and the last part of the data, respectively.
# Print the first 6 rows
head(my_data, 6)

Descriptive statistics for a single group
Roughly speaking, the central tendency measures the “average” or the “middle” of your data. The most commonly used measures include:
the mean: the average value. It’s sensitive to outliers.
the median: the middle value. It’s a robust alternative to mean.
and the mode: the most frequent value
In R,
The function mean() and median() can be used to compute the mean and the median, respectively;
The function mfv() [in the modeest R package] can be used to compute the mode of a variable.
The R code below computes the mean, median and the mode of the variable Sepal.Length [in my_data data set]:
# Compute the mean value
mean(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 5.843333
# Compute the median value
median(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 5.8
# Compute the mode
#install.packages("modeest")
require(modeest)
## Loading required package: modeest
## Warning: package 'modeest' was built under R version 4.3.2
mfv(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 5
Measure of variablity
Measures of variability gives how “spread out” the data are.
Range corresponds to biggest value minus the smallest value. It gives you the full spread of the data.
# Compute the minimum value
min(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 4.3
# Compute the maximum value
max(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 7.9
# Range
range(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 4.3 7.9
Recall that, quartiles divide the data into 4 parts. Note that, the interquartile range (IQR) - corresponding to the difference between the first and third quartiles - is sometimes used as a robust alternative to the standard deviation.
R function:
quantile(x, probs = seq(0, 1, 0.25))
x: numeric vector whose sample quantiles are wanted. probs: numeric vector of probabilities with values in [0,1].
quantile(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
## 4.3 5.1 5.8 6.4 7.9
By default, the function returns the minimum, the maximum and three quartiles (the 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 quartiles).
To compute deciles (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, …., 0.9), use this:
quantile(my_data$Sepal.Length, seq(0, 1, 0.1))
## 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%
## 4.30 4.80 5.00 5.27 5.60 5.80 6.10 6.30 6.52 6.90 7.90
To compute the interquartile range, type this:
IQR(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 1.3
# Compute the variance
var(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 0.6856935
# Compute the standard deviation =
# square root of th variance
sd(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 0.8280661
Median absolute deviation
# Compute the median
median(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 5.8
# Compute the median absolute deviation
mad(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## [1] 1.03782
Which measure to use?
Range. It’s not often used because it’s very sensitive to outliers. Interquartile range. It’s pretty robust to outliers. It’s used a lot in combination with the median.
Variance. It’s completely uninterpretable because it doesn’t use the same units as the data. It’s almost never used except as a mathematical tool
Standard deviation. This is the square root of the variance. It’s expressed in the same units as the data. The standard deviation is often used in the situation where the mean is the measure of central tendency.
Median absolute deviation. It’s a robust way to estimate the standard deviation, for data with outliers. It’s not used very often.
In summary, the IQR and the standard deviation are the two most common measures used to report the variability of the data.
Computing an overall summary of a variable and an entire data frame summary() function
The function summary() can be used to display several statistic summaries of either one variable or an entire data frame.
Summary of a single variable. Five values are returned: the mean, median, 25th and 75th quartiles, min and max in one single line call:
summary(my_data$Sepal.Length)
## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
## 4.300 5.100 5.800 5.843 6.400 7.900
Summary of a data frame.
In this case, the function summary() is automatically applied to each column. The format of the result depends on the type of the data contained in the column.
For example: If the column is a numeric variable, mean, median, min, max and quartiles are returned.
If the column is a factor variable, the number of observations in each group is returned.
summary(my_data, digits = 1)
## Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
## Min. :4 Min. :2 Min. :1 Min. :0.1 setosa :50
## 1st Qu.:5 1st Qu.:3 1st Qu.:2 1st Qu.:0.3 versicolor:50
## Median :6 Median :3 Median :4 Median :1.3 virginica :50
## Mean :6 Mean :3 Mean :4 Mean :1.2
## 3rd Qu.:6 3rd Qu.:3 3rd Qu.:5 3rd Qu.:1.8
## Max. :8 Max. :4 Max. :7 Max. :2.5
sapply() function
It’s also possible to use the function sapply() to apply a particular function over a list or vector. For instance, we can use it, to compute for each column in a data frame, the mean, sd, var, min, quantile, …
# Compute the mean of each column
sapply(my_data[, -5], mean)
## Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width
## 5.843333 3.057333 3.758000 1.199333
# Compute quartiles
sapply(my_data[, -5], quantile)
## Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width
## 0% 4.3 2.0 1.00 0.1
## 25% 5.1 2.8 1.60 0.3
## 50% 5.8 3.0 4.35 1.3
## 75% 6.4 3.3 5.10 1.8
## 100% 7.9 4.4 6.90 2.5
stat.desc() function
The function stat.desc() [in pastecs package], provides other useful statistics including:
the median the mean the standard error on the mean (SE.mean) the confidence interval of the mean (CI.mean) at the p level (default is 0.95) the variance (var) the standard deviation (std.dev) and the variation coefficient (coef.var) defined as the standard deviation divided by the mean
#Install pastecs package
#install.packages("pastecs")

# Compute descriptive statistics
library(pastecs)
## Warning: package 'pastecs' was built under R version 4.3.2
res <- stat.desc(my_data[, -5])

Case of missing values
Note that, when the data contains missing values, some R functions will return errors or NA even if just a single value is missing.
For example, the mean() function will return NA if even only one value is missing in a vector. This can be avoided using the argument na.rm = TRUE, which tells to the function to remove any NAs before calculations. An example using the mean function is as follow:
mean(my_data$Sepal.Length, na.rm = TRUE)

ggqqplot(my_data, x = "Sepal.Length")
Descriptive statistics by groups
To compute summary statistics by groups, the functions group_by() and summarise() [in dplyr package] can be used.
We want to group the data by Species and then: compute the number of element in each group. R function: n() compute the mean. R function mean() and the standard deviation. R function sd() The function %>% is used to chaine operations.
Install ddplyr as follow:
#install.packages("dplyr")

Graphics for grouped data:
library("ggpubr")
# Box plot colored by groups: Species
ggboxplot(my_data, x = "Species", y = "Sepal.Length",
color = "Species",
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"))
# Stripchart colored by groups: Species
ggstripchart(my_data, x = "Species", y = "Sepal.Length",
color = "Species",
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"),
add = "mean_sd")
Note that, when the number of observations per groups is small, it’s recommended to use strip chart compared to box plots.
Frequency tables A frequency table (or contingency table) is used to describe categorical variables. It contains the counts at each combination of factor levels.
R function to generate tables: table()
Create some data Distribution of hair and eye color by sex of 592 students:
# Hair/eye color data
df <- as.data.frame(HairEyeColor)
hair_eye_col <- df[rep(row.names(df), df$Freq), 1:3]
rownames(hair_eye_col) <- 1:nrow(hair_eye_col)

Multiway tables: More than two categorical variables Hair and Eye color distributions by sex using xtabs():
xtabs(~Hair + Eye + Sex, data = hair_eye_col)
## , , Sex = Male

## Eye
## Hair Brown Blue Hazel Green
## Black 32 11 10 3
## Brown 53 50 25 15
## Red 10 10 7 7
## Blond 3 30 5 8

## Brown 66 34 29 14
## Red 16 7 7 7
## Blond 4 64 5 8
You can also use the function ftable() [for flat contingency tables]. It returns a nice output compared to xtabs() when you have more than two variables:
ftable(Sex + Hair ~ Eye, data = hair_eye_col)
## Sex Male Female
## Hair Black Brown Red Blond Black Brown Red Blond
## Eye
## Brown 32 53 10 3 36 66 16 4
## Blue 11 50 10 30 9 34 7 64
## Hazel 10 25 7 5 5 29 7 5
## Green 3 15 7 8 2 14 7 8
Compute table margins and relative frequency Table margins correspond to the sums of counts along rows or columns of the table. Relative frequencies express table entries as proportions of table margins (i.e., row or column totals).
The function margin.table() and prop.table() can be used to compute table margins and relative frequencies, respectively.
Format of the functions:
margin.table(x, margin = NULL) prop.table(x, margin = NULL)
x: table margin: index number (1 for rows and 2 for columns) compute table margins:
Hair <- hair_eye_col$Hair
Eye <- hair_eye_col$Eye
# Hair/Eye color table
he.tbl <- table(Hair, Eye)
