|STAT
Up one levelOne of the easiest to use stat packages around is the free |STAT (aka unixstat or pipestat). It is entirely command-line based, deceptively simple, and the best tool out there for fast data manipulation. Gary Perlman (|STAT's author) distributes both DOS and UNIX versions for free.
- OS X binaries
- (gzipped tar archive) I have recompiled the source for Mac OS X if anyone is interested. I never heard back from Gary about distributing the OS X versions, so I have made the binaries and the associated man pages available. Included in this distribution are several variations on the original version. Specifically, I have created four "new" commands: dl, ttest, mpttest, and a new, improved anova (that reports true n's and can automatically compute cell means by subjects). The man page for anova reflects this change. dl is self-documenting via "dl -h" and ttest and mpttest are simply that - they take two columns of numbers and return the appropriate statistic. I recommend putting these binaries in /usr/local/bin (which should already be in your PATH, but if not add it). NOTE: These have not been recompiled for Intel Macs - they seem to work fine within Rosetta, but they have not been extensively tested.
- man pages
- (gzipped tar archive) I recommend putting these man pages in /usr/local/share/man/man1 (which you definitely will need to add to your MANPATH).
