man gbquant (1): Print quantiles of data distribution

SYNOPSIS

gbquant [options]

DESCRIPTION

Print distribution quantiles. Data are read from standard input. If no -x or -q options are provided, a quantiles table is plotted. The number of quantiles can be chosen with -n. The option -x #1 prints the quantile associated with the value #1, while -q #2 print the value associate with the quantile #2. Of course #2 must be between 0 and 1. Multiple values can be provided to -x or -q, separated with commas. With -w #1,#2 all the observations inside the quantile range [#1,#2) are printed. If more columns are provided with option -t, the specified action is repeated on each column. Without -t, columns are pooled unless -w is specified, in which case all rows whose first element is inside the range are printed. A different column for sorting can be specified with option -W. If 0 is specified, the cut is applied with respect to all columns

OPTIONS

-n: number of quantiles to print (default 10)
-x: print the quantile (interpolated) associated with the value
-q: print the value (interpolated) associated with the quantile
-e: print the (asymptotic) error for -x or -q; doesn't work with -t
-w: print observations inside a quantile windows
-W: set the column to use (default 1)
-t: consider separately each column of input
-F: specify the input fields separators (default " \t")
