RFS: stda 1.0

[Dimitar Ivanov <drimiks@mirendom.net>]

Hi,

there are many complex and powerful scientific packages in Debian 
GNU/Linux. Yet, I'm missing stand-alone tools for simple data analysis for 
users who needs just to compute sums, mean values, or may be to evaluate 
and look at the distribution of some variable as for example time, date, 
size, etc. And it will be nice, if one can do this from shell by executing 
a single command or few piped commands, using tools that are compact and 
helpful in a general case. For this purpose I recently created a package 
named "Simple Tools for Data Analysis" and uploaded it to 
mentors.debian.net:

- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stda
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stda/stda_1.0-1.dsc

I would be glad to find a sponsor for the package.

Kind regards,
Dimitar Ivanov

  Description     : simple tools for data analysis (stda)

STDA includes some primary tools for data analysis based on common
computational methods in mathematics and statistics. You can evaluate
sums, averages, integrals, histograms, and distributions of 1-d data, and
eventually plot the results. The separate programs are stand-alone tools
(supporting the standard UNIX input and output pipelines) to be used for
data processing from the command line. The package provides utilities for
straightforward analysis in situations where a complex analytical approach
is not necessary and where an ultimate numerical precision with
floating-point numbers is not critical.
