descr: Descriptive Statistics

Weighted frequency and contingency tables of categorical variables and of the comparison of the mean value of a numerical variable by the levels of a factor, and methods to produce xtable objects of the tables and to plot them. There are also functions to facilitate character encoding conversion of objects, to quickly convert fixed-width files into CSV ones, and to export a data.frame to a text file with the necessary R and SPSS codes to reread the data.
