function dataset_ = descriptive_statistics(dataset_,statistic,varagin)
% Computes various descriptive statistics for the sample and stores them in the structure dataset_.
%@info:
%! @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{dataset_} =} descriptive_statistics(@var{dataset_},@var{statistic})
%! @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{dataset_} =} descriptive_statistics(@var{dataset_},@var{statistic},nlags)
%! @anchor{compute_corr}
%! This function computes various descriptive statistics on the sample (possibly with missing observations).
%!
%! @strong{Inputs}
%! @table @var
%! @item dataset_
%! Dynare structure describing the dataset, built by @ref{makedataset}
%! @item statistic
%! String. The name of the statistic to be computed. Admissible values are:
%! @table @var
%! @item 'stdv'
%! Computes the standard deviation of each observed variable.
%! @item 'cova'
%! Computes the covariance matrix of the sample.
%! @item 'corr'
%! Computes the correlation matrix of the sample.
%! @item 'acov'
%! Computes the (multivariate) auto-covariance function of the sample. In this case a third argument (@code{nlags}) defining the
%! maximum number of lags is mandatory.
%! @end table
%! @item nlags
%! Integer scalar. The maximum number of lags when computing the autocovariance function.
%! @end table
%!
%! @strong{Outputs}
%! @table @var
%! @item dataset_
%! Dynare structure describing the dataset, built by @ref{makedataset}
%! @end table
%!
%! @strong{This function is called by:}
%! none.
%!
%! @strong{This function calls:}
%! @ref{compute_stdv}, @ref{compute_cova}, @ref{compute_corr}, @ref{compute_acov}.
%!
%! @strong{Remark 1.} On exit, a new field containing the computed statistics is appended to the structure.
