|STAT is a set of about 30 data manipulation and analysis programs
|
|
developed by Gary Perlman at the University of California, San Diego
|
|
and at the Wang Institute. The manipulation programs are general
|
|
utilities that work with other standard programs like sort. The
|
|
analysis programs compute most widely used statistics. |STAT programs
|
|
are designed with the philosophy that individual programs should be
|
|
designed as tools that do one task well and produce output suitable
|
|
for input via pipes to |STAT and other programs. Interactive use is
|
|
supported in the command line interpreter/editor while batch files or
|
|
shell scripts provide a programming language for complex
|
|
analyses. Typical usage involves a pipeline of transformations of data
|
|
followed by input to an analysis program, summarized schematically by:
|
|
|
|
INPUT DATA | TRANSFORM | ANALYSIS | OUTPUT RESULTS
