describe should also apply to Vector

[scls19fr]

Hello,

describe function is very convenient to have a quick look at dataframe value.
But it will be great if it could apply to Vector also

I was expecting to be able to do:

describe(df[!, :column])

Kind regards

Use describe(select(df, :column)).

describe for an AbstractVector is defined in StatsBase.jl:

julia> using StatsBase

julia> describe([1,2,3,4])
Summary Stats:
Length:         4

3rd Quartile:   3.250000
Maximum:        4.000000

Thanks @bkamins maybe doc should be improved to show such a usage (describe(select(df, :column)))

[bkamins]

OK - I will update the docs anyway today so I can add it.
