Overall descriptive statistics ​

Open this method

Purpose ​

Summarize levels, dispersion and ranges of numerical measurements.

Data and assumptions ​

Select meaningful numerical variables. A mean of category codes is usually not interpretable. Each variable uses its available observations.

Configure this method ​

Choose summary measures in analysis settings. Rows correspond to variables; kurtosis is excess kurtosis. Missing values are excluded separately per variable, so differing Ns do not define one common sample.

Analysis parameters remain visible in the main configuration area. Advanced formatting contains only the table title and numeric decimals. Methods that calculate intervals also show the significance level; 0.05 corresponds to 95% intervals.

Read the results ​

N is the valid sample size for that row. Report mean and standard deviation for reasonably symmetric distributions and median and quartiles for skewed distributions.

Workflow and exports ​

  1. Upload the dataset and choose the method from the sidebar or search.
  2. Select the variables above, set the design-specific options, then run the analysis.
  3. Inspect the paper-style result. Reconfigure from the result area, or open raw output for diagnostics and sample details.
  4. Rename and keep result tabs as needed. Export Word, Excel, CSV or TXT; batch export can include the selected AI interpretation. Word retains figures. AI text should be checked against the estimates.
