Calculate summary statistics of columns in dataframe

Question

I have a dataframe of the following form (for example)

shopper_num,is_martian,number_of_items,count_pineapples,birth_country,tranpsortation_method
1,FALSE,0,         


        

Answer 1

Now there is the pandas_profiling package, which is a more complete alternative to df.describe().

If your pandas dataframe is df, the below will return a complete analysis including some warnings about missing values, skewness, etc. It presents histograms and correlation plots as well.

import pandas_profiling
pandas_profiling.ProfileReport(df)

See the example notebook detailing the usage.
