Catman...t_mean(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Fix::stat_mean — bestie, this one calculates the mean of an array 💅

It's a Catmandu::Fix, so you already know the vibe: you drop it in your fix file, it does its lil math thing, and it slays. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so picture this: you've got a field called foo and it's holding an array like [1,2,3,4]. You want the average. Boom. That's it. That's the whole job. 🫶

# Calculate the mean of foo. E.g. foo => [1,2,3,4]
stat_mean(foo)  # foo => '2.5'

So like — you pass in foo, and the mean of 1, 2, 3 and 4 comes out as '2.5'. The way it just replaces the array with the mean in place… main character energy, no cap. 🔥

ngl bestie, notice the quotes around '2.5' — that's literally what the example shows, so that's what you get. 💖
