Important tools in Summary Statistics are

- Variance
- Effect Size (https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Effect_size)
- A histogram is a complete description of the distribution of a sample, by a histogram a complete reconstruction of the values in a sample can be reconstructed.
Some important characteristics are
- Central Tendency: Are the values around a central point, mean, mode or median.
- Modes: Is there more than one cluster. ( A modal value, is calculated by counting the number of occurrence of a value.)
- Spread of Data: How much variability is in the data. The variability in the data can be calculated by range, quartiles, variance, absolute deviation and standard deviation.
- Tails: How quickly do the probabilities drop off as we move away from the modes ?
- Outliers: Extreme Values away from the modes, sometimes the result of Errors but other times the result of unusual data.
