R summary() equivalent in numpy
Question: Is there an equivalent of `R`'s `summary()` function in `numpy`?

`numpy` has std, mean, average functions separately, but does it have a
function that sums up everything, like `summary` does in `R`?

If found [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27637281/what-are-python-
pandas-equivalents-for-r-functions-like-str-summary-and-he) question which
relates to `pandas` and
[this](http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/r-numpy.html) article with R-to-
numpy equivalents, but it doesn't have what I seek for.


Answer: **No**. You'll need to use `pandas`.

R is for language for statistics, so many of the basic functionality you need,
like `summary()` and `lm()`, are loaded when you boot it up. Python has many
uses, so you need to install and import the appropriate statistical packages.
`numpy` isn't a statistics package - it's for numerical computation more
generally, so you need to use packages like `pandas`, `scipy` and
`statsmodels` to allow Python to do what R can do out of the box.
