DataFrame.
summary
Computes specified statistics for numeric and string columns. Available statistics are: - count - mean - stddev - min - max - arbitrary approximate percentiles specified as a percentage (e.g., 75%)
If no statistics are given, this function computes count, mean, stddev, min, approximate quartiles (percentiles at 25%, 50%, and 75%), and max.
New in version 2.3.0.

This function is meant for exploratory data analysis, as we make no guarantee about the backward compatibility of the schema of the resulting DataFrame.
