.SH NAME
|STAT \- compact data analysis programs
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
|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
.I tools
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.
