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 Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
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?)
