INTRO|STAT(1)                      |STAT                          1980-1987

NAME
     |STAT - compact data analysis programs

DESCRIPTION

     |STAT is a set of data manipulation and analysis programs developed by
     Gary Perlman while at the University of California, San Diego and at
     the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies.  The programs are designed
     with the UNIX philosophy that individual programs should be designed
     as _t_o_o_l_s that do one task well and produce output suitable for input
     via pipes to other programs.  Interactive use is supported in the UNIX
     shell which also provides a programming language for complex analyses.
     Functionality often built into statistical packages (e.g., graphics,
     sorting and other data manipulation) is not re-invented in |STAT which
     delegates such responsibility to standard UNIX tools.
