descriptr 0.5.0 (2019-01-22)

New Features

• ds_tiy_stats() will detect continuous variables in the data set and return summary statistics for all of them. (#68)
• ds_auto_summary_stats() will detect all continuous variables in the data set and return summary statistics and frequency tables for all of them. (#69)
• ds_plot_*() family of functions will detect continuous and categorical variables in the data set and generate appropriate plots. (#70)
• ds_launch_shiny_app() will check if suggested packages are available and offer to install the missing packages. (#76)
• ds_measures_*() family of functions now accept multiple arguments. (#78)

Deprecation

All the dist_* functions related to visualizing probability distributions have been soft deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please use the vistributions package going forward.

The shiny app has been soft-deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please use the xplorerr package going forward.

The following functions have been soft-deprecated and will be removed in the next release:

• ds_freq_cont()
• ds_oway_tables()
• ds_tway_tables()

The following now return tibbles to facilitate further analysis:

• ds_twoway_table()
• ds_freq_table()
• ds_freq_cont()
