R extended summary numerical values including kurtosis, skew, etc?

Question

Is there a one-liner in R that will give me the following stats for each numerical column of a dataframe?

count, mean, median, q3, q1, iqr, mode, min, max, antimode, pstdev, sstdev, pvar, svar, mad, madraw, pskew, sskew, pkurt, skurt, dpo, jarque

Something like an extended method of summary(dt)? Any ideas?

Psych describe seems to be the best option – 719016 Mar 02 '15 at 16:14 — 719016, Mar 02 '15 at 16:14
There is also a package called `moments`. – Khashaa Mar 02 '15 at 16:41 — Khashaa, Mar 02 '15 at 16:41

The describe() method in the psych package does include kurtosis and skew:

dt = data.frame(a=rnorm(1000),b=rnorm(1000)) library(psych) describe(dt)

vars n mean sd median trimmed mad min max range skew kurtosis se a 1 1000 0 1.01 0 0.01 1.00 -3.59 3.36 6.95 -0.06 0.17 0.03 b 2 1000 0 0.97 0 0.00 0.93 -3.15 3.10 6.25 -0.08 -0.07 0.03
