Statistics - calculate statistics of a dataset
aststatistics [OPTION...] ASTRdata
Statistics is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.14. Statistics
will do statistical analysis on the input dataset (table column or image).
All blank pixels or pixels outside of the given range are ignored. You can
either directly ask for certain statistics in one line/row as shown below
with the same order as requested, or get tables of different statistical
measures like the histogram, cumulative frequency style and etc. If no
particular statistic is requested, some basic information about the dataset
is printed on the command-line.
For more information, please run any of the following commands. In
particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of
Statistics's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full
description of all the options.
- All options and their
values:
- $ aststatistics -P
- Inputs/Outputs
and options:
- $ info aststatistics

If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct
help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information,
please run:
