STATISTICS

/I/J/K/L X/Y/Z/T /D /BRIEF

Computes summary statistics about the data specified.

yes? STATISTICS[/qualifiers] expression_1 , expression_2 , ...

The statistics include:

• the size and shape of the region
• total number of data values in the region specified
• number of data values flagged as bad data
• minimum value
• maximum value
• mean value (arithmetic mean—not weighted by grid spacing)
• standard deviation (also not weighted by grid spacing)

All values are reported to 5 significant digits.

STATISTICS interacts with the current context exactly as the commands CONTOUR, PLOT and LIST do.

Parameters

Expressions may be anything described under Expressions. If multiple variables or expressions are specified they are treated in sequence. The expression(s) are inferred from the current context if omitted from the command line.

Command qualifiers for STATISTICS:

STATISTICS/I=/J=/K=/L=/X=/Y=/Z=/T=
Specifies value or range of axis subscripts (I, J, K, or L), or axis coordinates (X, Y, Z, or T) to be used when computing statistics about the expression(s).

STATISTICS/D=
Specifies the default data set to be used when computing statistics about the expression(s).

STATISTICS/BRIEF
Produces a shorter listing involving less computation.
