# Stats [![][travis-svg]][travis-url] [![][coveralls-svg]][coveralls-url] [![][godoc-svg]][godoc-url] [![][license-svg]][license-url]
A statistics package with many functions missing from the Golang standard library. See the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/montanaflynn/stats/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for API changes and tagged releases you can vendor into your projects.
> Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination. **- Vin Scully**
## Installation
```
go get github.com/montanaflynn/stats
```
**Protip:** `go get -u github.com/montanaflynn/stats` updates stats to the latest version.
## Usage
The [entire API documentation](http://godoc.org/github.com/montanaflynn/stats) is available on GoDoc.org
You can view docs offline with the following commands:
```
godoc ./
godoc ./ Median
godoc ./ Float64Data
```
**Protip:** Generate HTML docs with `godoc -http=:4444`
## Example
All the functions can be seen in [examples/main.go](https://github.com/montanaflynn/stats/blob/master/examples/main.go) but here's a little taste:
```go
// start with the some source data to use
var data = []float64{1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5}
median, _ := stats.Median(data)
fmt.Println(median) // 3.5
roundedMedian, _ := stats.Round(median, 0)
fmt.Println(roundedMedian) // 4
```
**Protip:** You can [call methods](https://github.com/montanaflynn/stats/blob/master/examples/methods.go) on the data if using the Float64Data type:
```
var d stats.Float64Data = data
max, _ := d.Max()
fmt.Println(max) // 5
```
## Contributing
If you have any suggestions, criticism or bug reports please [create an issue](https://github.com/montanaflynn/stats/issues) and I'll do my best to accommodate you. In addition simply starring the repo would show your support for the project and be very much appreciated!
### Pull Requests
Pull request are always welcome no matter how big or small. Here's an easy way to do it:
1. Fork it and clone your fork
2. Create new branch (`git checkout -b some-thing`)
3. Make the desired changes
4. Ensure tests pass (`go test -cover` or `make test`)
5. Commit changes (`git commit -am 'Did something'`)
6. Push branch (`git push origin some-thing`)
7. Submit pull request
To make things as seamless as possible please also consider the following steps:
- Update `README.md` to include new public types or functions in the documentation section.
- Update `examples/main.go` with a simple example of the new feature.
- Keep 100% code coverage (you can check with `make coverage`).
- Run [`gometalinter`](https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter) and make your code pass.
- Squash needless commits into single units of work with `git rebase -i new-feature`.
#### Makefile
I've included a [Makefile](https://github.com/montanaflynn/stats/blob/master/Makefile) that has a lot of helper targets for common actions such as linting, testing, code coverage reporting and more.
**Protip:** `watch -n 1 make check` will continuously format and test your code.
