Frank Harrell 的Hmisc包有一些带有注释选项的基本图形：查看summary.formula()和相关的plotwrap 函数。我也喜欢这个describe()功能。

有关更多信息，请查看Hmisc 库或S-Plus 简介和 Hmisc 和设计库。

以下是从在线帮助中获取的一些图片（bpplt、describe和plot(summary(...))）：

许多其他示例可以在R 图形手册上在线浏览，请参阅Hmisc（不要错过rms）。

我强烈推荐PerformanceAnalytics包中的函数chart.Correlations。它将大量信息打包到一个图表中：每个变量的核密度图和直方图，以及每个变量对的散点图、lowess 平滑器和相关性。这是我最喜欢的图形数据汇总功能之一：

library(PerformanceAnalytics)
chart.Correlation(iris[,1:4],col=iris$Species)

我发现这个功能很有用……原作者的句柄是respiratoryclub。

我不确定这是否是您的想法，但您可能想查看fitdistrplus包。它有很多不错的功能，可以自动生成有关您的分布的有用摘要信息，并绘制其中一些信息的图表。以下是小插图中的一些示例：

library(fitdistrplus)
data(groundbeef)
windows()              # or quartz() for mac
  plotdist(groundbeef$serving)  

windows()
> descdist(groundbeef$serving, boot=1000)
