| DESCRIPTION |
|STAT is a set of data manipulation and analysis programs developed by
Gary Perlman while at the University of California, San Diego and at
the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies. The programs are designed
with the UNIX philosophy that individual programs should be designed
as tools that do one task well and produce output suitable for input
via pipes to other programs. Interactive use is supported in the UNIX
shell which also provides a programming language for complex analyses.
Functionality often built into statistical packages (e.g., graphics,
sorting and other data manipulation) is not re-invented in |STAT which
delegates such responsibility to standard UNIX tools.
