statstable - compute basic stats about the columns of a table.

SYNOPSYS

    statstable < table

    meantable  < table
    medtable   < table
    mintable   < table
    maxtable   < table
    rmstable   < table
    stdtable   < table
    sumtable   < table
    tottable   < table

statstable read the input file from the standard input and outputs a table of basic statistics on the standard output. It computes the sum, min, max, mean, median, standard devaition and range of a column.

The output is a table of computed values one column for each column in the input table and an extra column named "Stat" to identify the statistic in each row prepended to the table.

Thses short scripts call statstable to compute a single statistic.

• meantable - compute the mean of each column of a table.
• mintable - compute the max of each column of a table.
• maxtable - compute the min of each column of a table.
• medtable - compute the median of each column of a table.
• rngtable - compute the range of each column of a table.
• rmstable - compute the rms of each column of a table.
• stdtable - compute the standard deviation of each column of a table.
• sumtable - compute the sum of each column of a table.
• tottable - compute the total of each column of a table.
