sta - Man Page

To control which statistics are calculated, the following options can be used. Multiple options can be specified.

--max

Maximum value.

--mean

Average value.

--median

Median value.

--min

Minimum value.

--n

Sample size.

--p LIST

Comma seperated list of percentiles.

--q

Quartiles (all).

--q1

First quartile only.

--q3

Third quartile only.

--sd

Standard deviation.

--sderr

Standard error of the mean.

--sum

Sum of all values.

--var

Variance.

If none of the above options are specified, sta will print the following values: number of samples, minimum, maximum, sum, mean, standard deviation, standard error.

--brief

Brief mode. Only the values are output; all headers are skipped.

--compensated

Calculate variance using the compensated variant algorithm.

--delimiter STRING

Specify string to use as delimiter.

--fixed

Print fractional numbers in fixed-precision notation.

--help

Print a help message and exit.

--sample

Unbiased estimator (n-1) to use with sample scores. sta, by default, assumes you have a population of scores, and thus normalises with N. If in fact you have a sample of scores, and wish to know the expected population standard deviation/variance, use this option.

--transpose

Transpose output - print all values on separate lines.
