. The following general subroutines belong to the category STATISTICS: . ``Calculation of moments, averages etc.'' In parentheses the name of the source file is given. MOMS . Given an data array, return (depending on mode) sum, mean, variance, standard deviation, absolute deviation, skewness, kurtosis or median. ( moms.c ) .

... Statistic files are managed using file generation sets and scripts in the ./scripts directory of this distribution. ... Each valid update appends a line of the following form to the current element of a file generation set named peerstats : . ... This keyword allows the (otherwise constant) filegen filename prefix to be modified for file generation sets, which is useful for handling statistics logs. filegen name [ file filename ] [ type typename ] [ flag flagval ] [ link | ...

... The GW from coalescing compact binaries composed of NS and BH are the best understood of all astrophysical GW sources.
