- [Instructor] The R console on your screen at present shows a few records and a couple of variables from the d.pizza data frame. The Descfunction in the DescTools contributed package can return more than just the simple unit variate one variable at a time analysis that we've looked at so far. In particular, it's good at doing bivariate analysis. The usage of Descdepends on the variables that you choose to analyze. For example, if you've got two numeric variables to analyze together, you'll get correlation coefficients or you might want to analyze the numeric variables such as temperature by a factor such as driver in the d.pizza data frame. Then you look to a breakdown of items such as the mean value of temperature by each value of the factor variable, driver in this case. And you can also get a contingency table. Suppose you want to analyze one factor in terms of another factor, for example the area delivered by the driver…
