  • is there a package using data.table that provides functions for descriptive stats, missingness etc?

    The ask is a little unclear. You might be interested in collapse and more generally in other packages in the fastverse. I guess it's also worth pointing out that data.table already provides alternative methods for certain base R descriptive stats functions (e.g., mean, etc.) that are automatically used when applied to datatables.

    If you are looking for performance I would recommend to check the collapse package. The following line "collapse" = collapse::fsum(df_datatable$x, g=df_datatable$g) is around 2x faster than base::rowsum, and the dplyr style syntax doesn't add that much of an overhead "collapse dplyr" = df_datatable |> fgroup_by(g) |> fsum(x)
