✨ GBBIN(1) — a program to bin data ✨

okay bestie, welcome to gbbin, a whole vibe from the User Commands section of the manual. it bins data. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gbbin [options]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, gbbin computes <b>BINNED STATISTICS</b>. she's giving data-girlie energy, no cap.

data comes in from standard input as records shaped like (X,Y1,Y2,...). then she builds equipopulated bins with respect to that first field X — yes, X is the main character here, everybody else is supporting cast. 👑

the -O option decides which statistics get printed for each bin. and with the options -x, -y or -c, elements that land in different bins get split into different columns. it's giving ✨organized✨.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -n — set the number of equipopulated bins (default 10). ten bins, ten little boxes, each one holding the same amount of data. slay.
  • -w — min,max sets the binning window <b>manually</b>. heads up bestie: this one is ignored with -x, -y and -c. she said "not today." 🙈
  • -O — set the output with a comma separated list of variables: xmean, xmin, xmax, xstd, xmedian, ymean, yadev, ystd, yvar, yskew, ykurt, ymin, ymax, ymedian, num (default xmean, ymean). pick your fighters, bestie. ⭐
  • -c# — the values in column # are split in different columns; # can be a comma separated list of columns. multiple columns? she can multitask. 💅
  • -x — equivalent to -c 1. the lazy girlie's way to say the same thing. 🦋
  • -y — equivalent to -c 2. same energy, different column. 🌸
  • -F — specify the input fields separators (default " \t"). space and tab, iconic duo. 🫶
  • -v — verbose mode. she'll tell you everything that's happening. chatty queen.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  1. gbbin -n 20 < file

split the records (line) in 20 bins according to the first field. print the average value of the bin entries for each column. if file has 3 columns, the output has twenty rows and three columns. twenty rows of pure ✨data slay✨.

  1. gbbin -O ymedian < file

bin the records with respect to the first value and print the median value of the other columns in each bin. median? she's not like other stats. 💜

  1. gbbin -c 3 < file

the binned values of the third columns are printed on separate columns. the output has ten columns. ten columns, one serve. 🔥
