Generate descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics include those that summarize the central tendency, dispersion and shape of a dataset's distribution, excluding ``NaN`` values. Analyzes both numeric and object series, as well as ``DataFrame``

        Generate descriptive statistics.

        Descriptive statistics include those that summarize the central
        tendency, dispersion and shape of a
        dataset's distribution, excluding ``NaN`` values.

        Analyzes both numeric and object series, as well
        as ``DataFrame`` column sets of mixed data types. The output
        will vary depending on what is provided. Refer to the notes
        below for more detail.

        Parameters
        ----------
        percentiles : list-like of numbers, optional
            The percentiles to include in the output. All should
            fall between 0 and 1. The default, ``None``, will automatically
            return the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
        include : 'all', list-like of dtypes or None (default), optional
            A white list of data types to include in the result. Ignored
            for ``Series``. Here are the options:

            - 'all' : All columns of the input will be included in the output.
            - A list-like of dtypes : Limits the results to the
              provided data types.
              To limit the result to numeric types submit
              ``numpy.number``. To limit it instead to object columns submit
              the ``numpy.object`` data type. Strings
              can also be used in the style of
              ``select_dtypes`` (e.g. ``df.describe(include=['O'])``). To
              select pandas categorical columns, use ``'category'``
            - None (default) : The result will include all numeric columns.
        exclude : list-like of dtypes or None (default), optional,
            A black list of data types to omit from the result. Ignored
            for ``Series``. Here are the options:

            - A list-like of dtypes : Excludes the provided data types
              from the result. To exclude numeric types submit
              ``numpy.number``. To exclude object columns submit the data
              type ``numpy.object``. Strings can also be used in the style of
              ``select_dtypes`` (e.g. ``df.describe(exclude=['O'])``). To
              exclude pandas categorical columns, use ``'category'``
            - None (default) : The result will exclude nothing.

        Returns
        -------
        Series or DataFrame
            Summary statistics of the Series or Dataframe provided.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.count: Count number of non-NA/null observations.
