1.4.7 Statistical summary of data

The new `stats` command reads data from a file using the same syntax as the `plot` or `splot` commands. Rather than drawing a graph, it prints out a statistical summary of the data contained in the column[s] requested. The resulting statistics min, max, mean, standard deviation, correlation, etc. are also stored in named variables that can be used to compose or modify subsequent plotting commands. See `stats`.
