Summary is a group generic function.

DESCRIPTION:

The Summary Function group is a group of functions for calculating mathematical summaries. Methods can be written for the whole group or individual functions for arbitrary classes. That is, you can write a method for any or all of the functions in the group, or write a single method for the group as a whole.

USAGE:

Summary(x ,..., na.rm = F)  # Replace Summary with any function below 

DETAILS:

Summary is a group generic function. The current list of functions in this group may be found by doing getGroupMembers("Summary") . Additional information may be available for specific methods, via methods?Summary .

NOTE:

The mean and median functions are not part of the Summary group.
