Df Describe

In pandas, df.describe() behaves differently for object (string) columns. By default: df.describe() only summarizes numeric columns. To get describe() for object/string columns, do this:

df.describe(include=['object']) # Describe only object columns
df.describe(include='object') # Describe only object columns
df.describe(include='all') # Describe all columns (numeric + object)

What it shows for object columns

For each string/object column, you get:

Statistic	Meaning
count	Number of non-null entries
unique	Number of unique values
top	Most frequent value
freq	Frequency of top value
