Descriptive statistics, also, probably.
"Please do my literature search for me" is not a reasonable request, though.
Knowing the term of art is very helpful for doing these sorts of searches, though. If one goes to the wikipedia page on summary statistics, one can easily get to the page for descriptive statistics, but neither of them are very good at leading one on to robust statistics, or anything besides the mean or median.
Google for "summary statistics" is sufficient. But more importantly, lit. search isn't a google/wikipedia type of activity.
