[Bug-datamash] histograms and/or CDFs

[Miah Ness]

Hi Assaf Gordon,

Thanks for developing this nice tool. I've been looking for something like this for years, and always resorted to perl/awk one-liners.

Would you be interested in integrating support for histograms and/or cumulative distribution functions?

I'm thinking about something as follows:

# cat data

1

2

9

11

14

34

36

37

38

# datamash hist:0:10:5 1 data

0 3

10 2

20 0 

30 4

40 0

The hist operator takes three arguments:

hist:<start>:<size>:<count>

<start> is the starting bucket value,

<size> is the size of each bucket, and

<count> is the number of buckets.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Miah
