Reynold Xin created SPARK-6117:
----------------------------------
Summary: describe function for summary statistics
Key: SPARK-6117
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6117
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: SQL
Reporter: Reynold Xin
DataFrame.describe should return a DataFrame with summary statistics.
{code}
def describe(cols: String*): DataFrame
{code}
If cols is empty, then run describe on all numeric columns.
The returned DataFrame should have 5 rows (count, mean, stddev, min, max) and n
+ 1 columns. The 1st column is the name of the aggregate function, and the next
n columns are the numeric columns of interest in the input DataFrame.
Similar to Pandas (but removing percentile since accurate percentiles are too
expensive to compute for Big Data)
{code}
In [19]: df.describe()
Out[19]:
A B C D
count 6.000000 6.000000 6.000000 6.000000
mean 0.073711 -0.431125 -0.687758 -0.233103
std 0.843157 0.922818 0.779887 0.973118
min -0.861849 -2.104569 -1.509059 -1.135632
max 1.212112 0.567020 0.276232 1.071804
