I like octave and R!
The reason I wrote this script was to get quick results from the command line.
For instance: I could use grep, cut and other unix tools to get the numbers from a file and make quick calculations.
Of course, for complex processing I would use octave or R.
- Sprint 13y agoYeah, I was thinking about that and spent the past minutes to make me some Bash functions like: function mean() { octave -q --eval "mean = mean(load('$1'))" } Then just run "mean numbers.txt". I am sure your approach is much quicker, octave takes a good 0.5s(!) to load on my machine.
- nferraz 13y agoYup, octave requires more time to warm up. Regarding speed, for simple calculations like sum, mean and variance, the bottleneck is in I/O.
