=head1 NAME

dbmultistats - run dbcolstats over each group of inputs identified by some key

=head1 SYNOPSIS

$0 [-dm] [-c ConfidencePercent] [-f FormatForm] [-q NumberOfQuartiles] -k KeyField ValueField

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The input table is grouped by KeyField,
then we compute a separate set of column statistics on ValueField 
for each group with a unique key.

Assumptions and requirements
are the same as L<dbmapreduce>
(this program is just a wrapper around that program):

By default, data can be provided in arbitrary order
and the program consumes O(number of unique tags) memory,
and O(size of data) disk space.

With the -S option, data must arrive group by tags (not necessarily sorted),
and the program consumes O(number of tags) memory and no disk space.
The program will check and abort if this precondition is not met.

With two -S's, program consumes O(1) memory, but doesn't verify
that the data-arrival precondition is met.

(Note that these semantics are exactly like
    dbmapreduce -k KeyField -- dbcolstats ValueField
L<dbmultistats> provides a simpler API that passes
through statistics-specific arguments
and is optimized when data is pre-sorted and there
are no quarties or medians.)

=head1 OPTIONS

Options are the same as L<dbcolstats>.

=over 4

=item B<-k> or B<--key> KeyField

specify which column is the key for grouping (default: the first column)

=item B<--output-on-no-input>

Enables null output (all fields are "-", n is 0)
if we get input with a schema but no records.
Without this option, just output the schema but no rows.
Default: no output if no input.

=item B<-a> or B<--include-non-numeric>

Compute stats over all records (treat non-numeric records
as zero rather than just ignoring them).

=item B<-c FRACTION> or B<--confidence FRACTION>

Specify FRACTION for the confidence interval.
Defaults to 0.95 for a 95% confidence factor.

=item B<-f FORMAT> or B<--format FORMAT>

Specify a L<printf(3)>-style format for output statistics.
Defaults to C<%.5g>.

=item B<-m> or B<--median>

Compute median value.  (Will sort data if necessary.)
(Median is the quantitle for N=2.)

=item B<-q N> or B<--quantile N>

Compute quantile (quartile when N is 4),
or an arbitrary quantile for other values of N,
where the scores that are 1 Nth of the way across the population.

=item B<-S> or B<--pre-sorted>

Assume data is already sorted.
With one -S, we check and confirm this precondition.
When repeated, we skip the check.

=item B<-T TmpDir>

where to put temporary data.
Only used if median or quantiles are requested.
Also uses environment variable TMPDIR, if -T is 
not specified.
Default is /tmp.

=item B<--parallelism=N> or B<-j N>

Allow up to N reducers to run in parallel.
Default is the number of CPUs in the machine.

=item B<-F> or B<--fs> or B<--fieldseparator> S

Specify the field (column) separator as C<S>.
See L<dbfilealter> for valid field separators.

=for comment
begin_standard_fsdb_options

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

=over 4

=item B<-d>

Enable debugging output.

=item B<-i> or B<--input> InputSource

Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard input,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

=item B<-o> or B<--output> OutputDestination

Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard output,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

=item B<--autorun> or B<--noautorun>

By default, programs process automatically,
but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke
the run() method.
The C<--(no)autorun> option controls that behavior within Perl.

=item B<--help>

Show help.

=item B<--man>

Show full manual.
