Data & Variable Descriptives and Summaries Recode and Transform Variables Summarise Variables and Cases

Transformation Most of the sjmisc functions (including recode- Recode functions add a suffix to new variables, The summary functions

Finding Variables in a Data Frame Z-standardise variables. Also center(). Use with %>% and dplyr
Variable selection is powered by select():
