Veld

Veld is a suite of command line applications for simple statistics on a data stream. It is a continuation of cli stats. Similar projects in this space include st and datamash. What sets Veld apart from these projects is that it also has support for plotting.

Installation

Veld is available on PyPI:

$ pip install veld

Usage

Currently Veld includes the following commands:

usage: veld [-h] [-V] [--debug] command ...

univariate statistics:
  sum        Sum the values in the data stream
  mean       Find the mean (average) of the values in the data stream
  mode       Find the mode of the values in the data stream
  median     Find the median of the values in the data stream
  stdev      Compute the standard deviation of the input stream
  variance   Compute the variance of the input stream
  quantile   Find the given quantile for the data in the stream

extreme values and counts:
  min        Find the minimum of the values in the data stream
  max        Find the maximum of the values in the data stream
  count      Count the number of values in the data stream

filtering values:
  lt         Keep only inputs that are less than a given threshold
  le         Keep only inputs that are less than or equal to a given threshold
  gt         Keep only inputs that are greater than a given threshold
  ge         Keep only inputs that are greater than or equal to a given threshold
  eq         Keep only inputs that equal a given value
  ne         Keep only inputs that are not equal to a given value

math operators:
  log        Compute the logarithm of the input stream
  cumsum     Compute the cumulative sum of the input stream

plotting:
  scatter    Show a scatterplot of two-dimensional data
  histogram  Plot a histogram of the values in the data stream
  barcount   Create a histogram with bars for all unique values in the stream

Why "veld"? Veld is built on top of wilderness, and it's short and didn't conflict with any tab completions I have :)
