DESCRIPTION

       pkstatascii calculates basic statistics of a data series in a text file.

OPTIONS

       -dist function, --dist function
              distribution         for        generating        random        numbers,        see

       -nbin value, --nbin value
              number of bins to calculate histogram

       -rel, --relative
              use percentiles for histogram to calculate histogram

       -kde, --kde
              Use  Kernel  ⟨http://pktools.nongnu.org/html/classKernel.html⟩  density  estimation
              when producing histogram.  The standard deviation is estimated based on Silverman's
              rule of thumb

       -cor, --correlation
              calculate   Pearson  produc-moment  correlation  coefficient  between  two  columns

              <col2>)

       -reg, --regression
              calculate  linear  regression  between  two columns and get correlation coefficient
              (defined by -c <col1> -c <col2>)

       -regerr, --regerr
              calculate linear regression between two columns and  get  root  mean  square  error
              (defined by -c <col1> -c <col2>)

       -v level, --verbose level
              verbose mode when positive

       Advanced options

              start reading source from this minimum value

       -src_max value, --src_max value
              stop reading source from this maximum value

       -fs separator, --fs separator
              field separator.

       -r startrow [-r endrow], --range startrow [--range endrow]
              rows to start/end reading.  Use -r 1 -r 10 to read first 10 rows where first row is
              header.  Use 0 to read all rows with no header.
