Simple Statistics
A JavaScript implementation of descriptive, regression, and inference statistics.Implemented in literate JavaScript with no dependencies, designed to work in all modern browsers (including IE) as well as in node.js.

Installation
- I'm using Node.js, Webpack, Browserify, Rollup, or another module bundler,
simple-statistics
module, using npm install simple-statistics
,then include the code with require or import:
I use the require
function to use modules in my project. (most likely)* When you use `require`, you have the freedom to assign the module to any
variable name you want, but you need to specify the module's name exactly:
in this case, 'simple-statistics'. The `require` method returns an object
with all of the module's methods attached to it.<br /> <pre>var ss = require('simple-statistics')</pre>
I use import
to use modules in my project. I'm probably using Babel, @std/esm
, Webpack, or Rollup.* Import all functions under the ss object: <pre>import * as ss from 'simple-statistics'</pre>
Include a specific named export: <pre>import {min} from 'simple-statistics'</pre>
Simple statistics has _only_ named exports for ES6.
- I'm using Deno.
- I'm not using a module bundler. I'm writing a web page, and want to include
* When you use simple-statistics from a script tag, you don't get to choose
the variable name it is assigned to: simple-statistics will always become
available globally as the variable `ss`. You can reassign this variable to
another name if you want to, but doing so is optional.
```HTML
<script src='https://unpkg.com/simple-statistics@7.8.2/dist/simple-statistics.min.js'>
</script>
```
I want to use ES6 modules in a browser and I'm willing to only support new browsers to do it* This module works great with the [`?module`](https://unpkg.com/#/query-parameters) query parameter of unpkg. If you
specify `type='module'` in your script tag, you'll be able to import simple-statistics
directly - through `index.js` and with true [ES6 import syntax and behavior](http://exploringjs.com/es6/ch_modules.html).
```js
<script type='module'>
import {min} from "https://unpkg.com/simple-statistics@7.8.2/index.js?module"
console.log(min([1, 2, 3]))
</script>
```
This feature is still experimental in unpkg and very bleeding-edge.
