- a measure of location, or central tendency, such as the arithmetic mean.
- a measure of statistical dispersion like the standard deviation.
- a measure of the shape of the distribution like skewness or kurtosis.
- if more than one variable is measured, a measure of statistical dependence such as a correlation coefficient.
- A common collection of order statistics used as summary statistics are the five-number summary, sometimes extended to a seven-number summary, and the associated box plot.
