EasyDescribe - A Convenient Way of Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive Statistics is essential for publishing
articles. This package can perform descriptive statistics
according to different data types. If the data is a continuous
variable, the mean and standard deviation or median and
quartiles are automatically output; if the data is a
categorical variable, the number and percentage are
automatically output. In addition, if you enter two variables
in this package, the two variables will be described and their
relationships will be tested automatically according to their
data types. For example, if one of the two input variables is a
categorical variable, another variable will be described
hierarchically based on the categorical variable and the
statistical differences between different groups will be
compared using appropriate statistical methods. And for groups
of more than two, the post hoc test will be applied. For more
information on the methods we used, please see the following
