How to get the descriptive statistic of the whole dataframe?
Hi
look into the *apply series of functions. In your case apply(name.of.your.data.frame,2,min) or apply(name.of.your.data.frame,2,max) will do. You can also put any summary function to your liking instead of min/max.
And summary has its own data frame method so simply summary(name.of.your.data.frame) There is also fivenum function and more elaborated describe in Hmisc I believe :-) Regards Petr
