Statistics::Lite - Small stats stuff.
use Statistics::Lite qw(:all); $min= min @data; $mean= mean @data; %data= statshash @data; print "sum= $data{sum} stddev= $data{stddev}\n"; print statsinfo(@data);
This module is a lightweight, functional alternative to larger, more complete, object-oriented statistics packages. As such, it is likely to be better suited, in general, to smaller data sets.
This is also a module for dilettantes.
When you just want something to give some very basic, high-school-level statistical values, without having to set up and populate an object first, this module may be useful.
This version now implements standard deviation and variance calculated by both the unbiased and biased estimators.
min(@data)
max(@data)
range(@data)
sum(@data)
count(@data)
Return the minimum value, maximum value, range (max - min), sum, or count of values in @data. (Count simply returns scalar(@data).)
@data
scalar(@data)
mean(@data)
median(@data)
mode(@data)
Calculates the mean, median, or mode average of the values in @data. (In the event of ties in the mode average, their mean is returned.)
variance(@data)
stddev(@data)
Return the standard deviation or variance of @data for a sample (same as Excel's STDEV).
variancep(@data)
stddevp(@data)
Return the standard deviation or variance of @data for the population (same as Excel's STDEVP).
statshash(@data)
Returns a hash whose keys are the names of all the functions listed above, with the corresponding values, calculated for the data set.
statsinfo(@data)
Returns a string describing the data set, using the values detailed above.
frequencies(@data)
Returns a hash, the keys are the distinct values in the data set, and the values are the number of times that value occurred in the data set.
The :all import tag imports all functions from this module into the current namespace (use with caution). To import the individual statistical funcitons, use the import tag :funcs; use :stats to import statshash(@data) and statsinfo(@data).
