okay bestie, hydrate and sit down, because this page is lowkey a whole serve 💅. it lives over in the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and its entire personality is running statistics — you feed the numbers in and it keeps the tallies for you. no cap. 🦋

Math::GSL::Rstat - Running Statistical functions ✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

copying this out exactly as the page gives it — order, spacing, everything — bc we do not touch code in this house 🫶

    use Math::GSL::Rstat qw /:all/;
    my @data = (17.2, 18.1, 16.5, 18.3, 12.6);
    map { gsl_rstat_add( $_, $rstat) } @data;
    my $rstat    = gsl_rstat_alloc();
    my $mean     = gsl_rstat_mean($rstat);
    my $variance = gsl_rstat_variance($rstat);
    my $largest  = gsl_rstat_max($rstat);
    my $smallest = gsl_rstat_min($rstat);
    my $sd       = gsl_rstat_sd($rstat);
    my $rms      = gsl_rstat_rms($rstat);
    my $sd_mean  = gsl_rstat_sd_mean($rstat);
    my $median   = gsl_rstat_median($rstat);
    my $skew     = gsl_rstat_skew($rstat);
    my $kurtosis = gsl_rstat_kurtosis($rstat);
    my $n        = gsl_rstat_n($rstat);

and look at that lineup 😭 gsl_rstat_mean, gsl_rstat_variance, gsl_rstat_max, gsl_rstat_min, gsl_rstat_sd, gsl_rstat_rms, gsl_rstat_sd_mean, gsl_rstat_median, gsl_rstat_skew, gsl_rstat_kurtosis, gsl_rstat_n — iconic roster fr fr 👑 and the data samples right there in @data are (17.2, 18.1, 16.5, 18.3, 12.6), in case you wanted to follow along.

📖 DESCRIPTION 📖

NOTE: This module requires GSL 2.0 or higher. 💀 like, if your GSL is older than 2.0 this genuinely is not the module for you, no hard feelings, go upgrade bestie.

For more information on the functions, we refer you to the GSL official documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/

and that's the entire description. yes, sometimes the page is short and lets the functions do the talking. the link up there is where the real deep lore lives 🍓
