How it works...

In this recipe, we used the describe() method from pandas to return the main statistical parameters of a distribution, namely, the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, 25th, 50th, and 75th quantiles, and the number of observations (count).

We can also calculate these parameters individually using the pandas mean(), count(), min(), max(), std(), and quantile() methods.

Finally, we calculated the value range by subtracting the minimum from the maximum value in each variable using the pandas max() and min() methods.
