There is a long list of statistical measures that can be computed from a sample set.
There is a sample list of 25 below.
Yes, many won't need more than min/max/mean/median.
But some users will want more than those four measures.
(I could certainly use variance, 1st standard deviation values, 5%, 25%, 75% and 95% percentile values)
If it supported by the maintainers, it seems there is a few ways to enable finding these measures:
A. Support exporting the complete sample set so users/consumers can compute whatever statistical measures they like.
or
B. Support providing functions to divan to compute more statistical measures. (lua?)
or
C. Increase the set of statistical measures divan can output to tty or Json
Any thoughts on supporting any of these methods to enable end-users to get these values?
It seems that choice A might the simplest.
