Biopiece: mean_vals

Description

mean_vals find the mean values for given keys outputting a record with keys of the type <key>_MEAN with the mean as values.

Usage

... | mean_vals [options]

Options

[-?          | --help]               #  Print full usage description.
[-x          | --no_stream]          #  Do not emit records.
[-o <file>   | --data_out=<file>]    #  Write result to file.
[-k <list>   | --keys=<list>]        #  Comma separated list of keys.
[-l <string> | --list=<string>]      #  Key with ; separated values to calculate mean from.
[-I <file!>  | --stream_in=<file!>]  #  Read input from stream file  -  Default=STDIN
[-O <file>   | --stream_out=<file>]  #  Write output to stream file  -  Default=STDOUT
[-v          | --verbose]            #  Verbose output.

Examples

Consider the following table in the file test.tab:

Human   123     78      0;1;2;3;4;5
Dog     45      81      6;7;8
Mouse   6       5       9

To find the mean value in the second column, read in the table with read_tab and then pipe to mean_vals:

read_tab -i test.tab | mean_vals -k V1 -x

V1_MEAN: 58.00
REC_TYPE: MEAN
---

To find the mean of two columns, just specify these:

read_tab -i test.tab | mean_vals -k V1,V2 -x

V1_MEAN: 58.00
REC_TYPE: MEAN
V2_MEAN: 54.67
---

To get the mean for keys where the values are a list of ; seperated values use the -l switch:

read_tab -i test.tab | mean_vals -l V3

V3_MEAN: 2.50
V3: 0;1;2;3;4;5
V0: Human
V2: 78
V1: 123
---
V3_MEAN: 7.00
V3: 6;7;8
V0: Dog
V2: 81
V1: 45
---
V3_MEAN: 9.00
V3: 9
V0: Mouse
V2: 5
V1: 6
---
