NAME

Catmandu::Stat - Catmandu modules for working with statistical data

SYNOPSIS

    # Calculate statistics on the availabity of the ISBN fields in the dataset
    cat data.json | catmandu convert JSON to Stat --fields isbn

    # Preprocess data and calculate statistics
    catmandu convert MARC to Stat --fix 'marc_map(020a,isbn)' --fields isbn < data.mrc

    # Or in fix files

    # Calculate the mean of foo. E.g. foo => [1,2,3,4]
    stat_mean(foo)  # foo => '2.5'

    # Calculate the median of foo. E.g. foo => [1,2,3,4]
    stat_median(foo)  # foo => '2.5'

    # Calculate the standard deviation of foo. E.g. foo => [1,2,3,4]
    stat_stddev(foo)  # foo => '1.12'

    # Calculate the variance of foo. E.g. foo => [1,2,3,4]
    stat_variance(foo)  # foo => '1.25'
