It elimintes the nuisance of importing data into a spreadsheet or writing custom scripts in order to gather basic statistics. DESCRIPTION Basic-stats computes common statistics such as mean, median, etc. on rows and/or columns of tabular data. It can compute multiple functions on multiple rows and/or columns in a single pass through the input stream. The default delimiter is either a single TAB or multiple space charac- ters. Alternate delimiters, such as a comma, can be specified using, e.g. --delim ','. Quantiles are computed using a generalized interpolation formula (method 4 from the Wikipedia page on quartiles). The output format is designed to be both human-readable and easily parsed by command-line tools and scripts. Basic-stats is written entirely in C for maximal performance. Memory use is trivial for many functions, but some computations such as quan- tiles which involve sorting the data require the use of arrays.
