For the summary data function, which columns are we summarizing?

ategge commented 6 years ago

The columns to be summarized in the function are passed via the "columns" optional argument. In the example provided, that includes 'Year','Max.Wind.Speed(kts)','Central.Pressure(mb)','Category'

How exactly do we summarize the data? Is there any example code I could look at?

maxh95 commented 6 years ago

Summarize with mean max min and standard deviation. Numpy can easily calculate mean and std. Min and max are built in functions but there are other ways of finding them too. For example: np.mean(data)

to find the mean.
