Basic statistics module.
This module provides functions for calculating statistics of data, including
averages, variance, and standard deviation.
Calculating averages
--------------------
================== =============================================
Function Description
================== =============================================
mean Arithmetic mean (average) of data.
median Median (middle value) of data.
median_low Low median of data.
median_high High median of data.
median_grouped Median, or 50th percentile, of grouped data.
mode Mode (most common value) of data.
================== =============================================
Calculate the arithmetic mean ("the average") of data:
>>> mean([-1.0, 2.5, 3.25, 5.75])
2.625
Calculate the standard median of discrete data:
>>> median([2, 3, 4, 5])
3.5
Calculate the median, or 50th percentile, of data grouped into class intervals
centred on the data values provided. E.g. if your data points are rounded to
the nearest whole number:
>>> median_grouped([2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4]) #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
2.8333333333...
This should be interpreted in this way: you have two data points in the class
interval 1.5-2.5, three data points in the class interval 2.5-3.5, and one in
the class interval 3.5-4.5. The median of these data points is 2.8333...
Calculating variability or spread
---------------------------------
================== =============================================
Function Description
================== =============================================
pvariance Population variance of data.
variance Sample variance of data.
pstdev Population standard deviation of data.
stdev Sample standard deviation of data.
================== =============================================
Calculate the standard deviation of sample data:
>>> stdev([2.5, 3.25, 5.5, 11.25, 11.75]) #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
4.38961843444...
If you have previously calculated the mean, you can pass it as the optional
second argument to the four "spread" functions to avoid recalculating it:
>>> data = [1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6]
>>> mu = mean(data)
>>> pvariance(data, mu)
2.5
Exceptions
----------
A single exception is defined: StatisticsError is a subclass of ValueError.

"""_sum(data [, start]) -> (type, sum, count)
Return a high-precision sum of the given numeric data as a fraction,

If optional argument ``start`` is given, it is added to the total.
If ``data`` is empty, ``start`` (defaulting to 0) is returned.
Examples
--------
>>> _sum([3, 2.25, 4.5, -0.5, 1.0], 0.75)
(<class 'float'>, Fraction(11, 1), 5)
Some sources of round-off error will be avoided:
>>> _sum([1e50, 1, -1e50] * 1000) # Built-in sum returns zero.
(<class 'float'>, Fraction(1000, 1), 3000)
Fractions and Decimals are also supported:

>>> _sum(data)

allowed.

class 3.5-4.5, and interpolation is used to estimate it.

defaults to 1. Changing the class interval naturally will change the

Use this function when your data is a sample from a population. To
calculate the variance from the entire population, see ``pvariance``.
Examples:
>>> data = [2.75, 1.75, 1.25, 0.25, 0.5, 1.25, 3.5]
>>> variance(data)

>>> m = mean(data)
>>> variance(data, m)

This function does not check that ``xbar`` is actually the mean of
``data``. Giving arbitrary values for ``xbar`` may lead to invalid or
impossible results.
