spicy: Descriptive Statistics and Data Management Tools

Provides tools for descriptive data analysis, variable inspection, and quick tabulation workflows in 'R'. Summarizes variable metadata, labels, classes, missing values, and representative values, with support for readable frequency tables, cross-tabulations, association measures for contingency tables (Cramer's V, Phi, Goodman-Kruskal Gamma, Kendall's Tau-b, Somers' D, and others), and APA-style reporting tables. Includes helpers for interactive codebooks, variable label extraction, clipboard export, and row-wise descriptive summaries. Designed to make descriptive analysis faster, clearer, and easier to work with in practice.
