NAME
       basic-stats - Command-line statistics made trivial

SYNOPSIS
       basic-stats z-score x mean stddev
       basic-stats z-cdf z-score [mean stddev] (defaults: 0 1)
       basic-stats t-score x-bar expected-mean stddev n

       basic-stats [--verbose] [--delim	string]	\
		function1 [param1] --row|--col N \
		[function2 ...]

OPTIONS
       --verbose
	      Echo input data during processing

       --delim string
	      Use string as a set of delimiters	instead	of the default " \t"

       --row N
	      Compute statistics for row N (1-based) of	the input

       --col N
	      Compute statistics for column N (1-based)	of the input

       mean --row|--col	N
	      Compute the mean (average) for row/column	N

       quantile	partitions --row|--col N
	      Compute the low, high, and quantiles for row/column N

       median --row|--col N
	      Compute  the  low, high, and median for row/column N.  Identical
	      to quantile 2 --row|--col	N.

       quartile	--row|--col N
	      Identical	to quantile 4 --row|--col N.

       pop-var --row|--col N
	      Report population	variance

       pop-stddev --row|--col N
	      Report population	standard deviation

       pop-z-scores --row|--col	N
	      Report population	z-scores

       sample-var --row|--col N
	      Report sample variance

       sample-stddev --row|--col N
	      Report sample standard deviation

       sample-z-scores --row|--col N
	      Report sample z-scores.  Should only be used for sample sizes of
	      30 or more.  Otherwise, use sample-t-score.

       sample-stderr --row|--col N
	      Report sample standard error (sigma-x-bar	= stddev / sqrt(n))

       sample-t-score --row|--col N
	      Report t-score for sample	data.

       mode --row|--col	N
	      Report mode

       range --row|--col N
	      Report range

       iq-range	--row|--col N
	      Report interquartile range

PURPOSE
       Basic-stats is a	program	for quickly computing  statistics  on  tabular
       data  from  the	command-line.	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.

EXAMPLES
       > cat sample.txt
       1    5  21
       2   12  22
       3   13  23
       4   14  24
       5   15  25
       6   16  26
       7   17  27
       8   18  28
       9   19  29
       10  20  30
       > basic-stats mean --col	1 median --row 2 quantile 4 --col 3 < sample.txt
       Col 1 mean	    5.500000
       Row 2 low	    2.000000
       Row 2 quantile(0.50) 12.000000
       Row 2 high	    22.000000
       Col 3 low	    21.000000
       Col 3 quantile(0.25) 22.750000
       Col 3 quantile(0.50) 25.500000
       Col 3 quantile(0.75) 28.250000
       Col 3 high	    30.000000
