title: Steps - code to display descriptives (mean, sd, etc.) for categorical data
body: <p>I imported some data including race, education level, and an outcome variable as numbers. Changed the categorical vars to ordered factors. 
  What can I do to describe these data? describe.by will not work for me but do not know if this is the correct function anyway. I want to view (hist) the outcome variable from the races independently, but also get the means, SDs, etc.</p>
