ucs-summarize - Compute statistical summaries for variables in UCS data set
ucs-summarize [-v] [-m] f f1 f2 FROM data.ds.gz ucs-summarize [-v] [-m] am.%.pv FROM data.ds.gz ucs-summarize [-v] [-m] data.ds.gz
This program computes short statistical summaries of numerical variables in a UCS data set. The general form of the ucs-summarize command is
ucs-summarize [-v] [-m] <variables> FROM <input.ds>
where <variables> is a whitespace-separated list of variable names or wildcard expression, and the data set is read from the file specified as <input.ds>. Wildcard expressions may need to be quoted to avoid interpretation by the shell. When the list of variables is omitted (including the keyword FROM), summaries are generated for all variables in the data set. In verbose mode (--verbose or -v option), some progress information is shown while computing the summary.
So far, the statistical summary includes the minimum (min.), maximum (max.), mean (mean), empirical variance (var.), and the empirical standard deviation (s.d.). In addition, the number of missing values (NA's) is reported.
When --memory (or -m) is specified, the data set will be read into memory first. In addition to the ordinary statistical summary, the absolute minimum (abs.min., the smallest non-zero absolute value), absolute maximum (abs.max.), and granularity (gran., smallest difference between any two unequal values) are computed in this mode.
