Donald, I would enjoy seeing your code once you release it. I'm doing research with Bayesian bioinformatics models using MCMC.
You can place all your MCMC samples in a DataFrame and then call describe on it to get a very similar output to what you described. You can also write your own inspired from the definition <https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/blob/cb9cd7f4c72eb49efd94d722731919a4086f683c/src/dataframe/dataframe.jl#L683> of the describe function. Or instead of using rpad to get the spacing right, you can use @printf or @sprintf instead.
