"""``statsutils`` provides tools aimed primarily at descriptive
statistics for data analysis, such as :func:`mean` (average),
:func:`median`, :func:`variance`, and many others,

The :class:`Stats` type provides all the main functionality of the
``statsutils`` module. A :class:`Stats` object wraps a given dataset,
providing all statistical measures as property attributes. These
attributes cache their results, which allows efficient computation of
multiple measures, as many measures rely on other measures. For
example, relative standard deviation (:attr:`Stats.rel_std_dev`)
relies on both the mean and standard deviation. The Stats object
caches those results so no rework is done.

The :class:`Stats` type's attributes have module-level counterparts for
convenience when the computation reuse advantages do not apply.

>>> stats = Stats(range(42))
>>> stats.mean
20.5
>>> mean(range(42))
20.5

Statistics is a large field, and ``statsutils`` is focused on a few
basic techniques that are useful in software. The following is a brief
introduction to those techniques. For a more in-depth introduction,
`Statistics for Software
<https://www.paypal-engineering.com/2016/04/11/statistics-for-software/>`_,
an article I wrote on the topic. It introduces key terminology vital
to effective usage of statistics.

Statistical moments
-------------------

Python programmers are probably familiar with the concept of the
*mean* or *average*, which gives a rough quantitiative middle value by
which a sample can be can be generalized. However, the mean is just
the first of four `moment`_-based measures by which a sample or
distribution can be measured.

The four `Standardized moments`_ are:

  1. `Mean`_ - :func:`mean` - theoretical middle value
  2. `Variance`_ - :func:`variance` - width of value dispersion
  3. `Skewness`_ - :func:`skewness` - symmetry of distribution
  4. `Kurtosis`_ - :func:`kurtosis` - "peakiness" or "long-tailed"-ness

For more information check out `the Moment article on Wikipedia`_.

.. _moment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(mathematics)
.. _Standardized moments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_moment
.. _Mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean
.. _Variance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance
.. _Skewness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness
.. _Kurtosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis
.. _the Moment article on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(mathematics)

Keep in mind that while these moments can give a bit more insight into
the shape and distribution of data, they do not guarantee a complete
picture. Wildly different datasets can have the same values for all
four moments, so generalize wisely.

Robust statistics
-----------------

Moment-based statistics are notorious for being easily skewed by
outliers. The whole field of robust statistics aims to mitigate this
dilemma. ``statsutils`` also includes several robust statistical methods:

  * `Median`_ - The middle value of a sorted dataset
  * `Trimean`_ - Another robust measure of the data's central tendency
  * `Median Absolute Deviation`_ (MAD) - A robust measure of
    variability, a natural counterpart to :func:`variance`.
  * `Trimming`_ - Reducing a dataset to only the middle majority of
    data is a simple way of making other estimators more robust.

.. _Trimean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimean
.. _Median Absolute Deviation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation
.. _Trimming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimmed_estimator


Online and Offline Statistics
-----------------------------

Unrelated to computer networking, `online`_ statistics involve
calculating statistics in a `streaming`_ fashion, without all the data
being available. The :class:`Stats` type is meant for the more
traditional offline statistics when all the data is available. For
pure-Python online statistics accumulators, look at the `Lithoxyl`_
system instrumentation package.

        are between 4.4 and 8.9, and two values lie between 17.8 and
        the max.

        You can specify the number of bins, or provide a list of
        bin boundaries themselves. If no bins are provided, as in the
        example above, `Freedman's algorithm`_ for bin selection is
        used.

        Args:
            bins (int): Maximum number of bins for the
                histogram. Also accepts a list of floating-point
                bin boundaries. If the minimum boundary is still
                greater than the minimum value in the data, that
                boundary will be implicitly added. Defaults to the bin
                boundaries returned by `Freedman's algorithm`_.
            bin_digits (int): Number of digits to round each bin
                to. Note that bins are always rounded down to avoid
                clipping any data. Defaults to 1.
            width (int): integer number of columns in the longest line
               in the histogram. Defaults to console width on Python
               3.3+, or 80 if that is not available.
            format_bin (callable): Called on each bin to create a
               label for the final output. Use this function to add
               units, such as "ms" for milliseconds.

        Should you want something more programmatically reusable, see
        the :meth:`~Stats.get_histogram_counts` method, the output of
        is used by format_histogram. The :meth:`~Stats.describe`
        method is another useful summarization method, albeit less

                order suitable to pass to an OrderedDict or HTML
                table. ``"text"`` converts the values to text suitable
                for printing, as seen below.
