Iris

Consider the iris data.

head(iris)
##   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
## 1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
## 4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
## 5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

I could show the code and results like this:

require(dplyr)

iris %>% group_by(Species) %>% summarize_each(mean)
## # A tibble: 3 x 5
##   Species    Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width
##   <fct>             <dbl>       <dbl>        <dbl>       <dbl>
## 1 setosa             5.01        3.43         1.46       0.246
## 2 versicolor         5.94        2.77         4.26       1.33 
## 3 virginica          6.59        2.97         5.55       2.03

Or I could create the same object invisibly and call its elements inline in text:

The mean sepal length of Iris setosa is 5.01.
