Descriptive Statistics of time series data
Use the r function scan() to read the entire file into a vector and then extract the observations for each series (possible using loops?)

Hi
I have four variables and the time series data for each variable consists
of values for past 10 years on monthly basis. I want to get descriptive
stats for these four variables separately (mean, median, sd, min, max).
The data I import to R consists of different columns, where each column
gives values for one month of a particular year (e.g. March 31st, 2010).
Right now R gives descriptive results for each column, whereas I need it
collectively for all the years ( one mean, one sd, one min, one max and one
median) for each variable.
Kindly guide me in this regard.
Thanks.
Saba
