Dear fellow fedora users,

If I have a data file called 15.dat with the following content:

$ cat 15.dat
1
3
1
0
2

I think you dropped the "6" from this copy.


And I want to find min, quartile 1, median, quartile 3 and maximum (Five number 
summary)
We can use datamash like

$ cat 15.dat | datamash min 1 q1 1 median 1 q3 1 max 1                  0       
1       1.5     2.75    6

Q3 is reported as 2.75 but if we split the data file in half the number is 3.

I looked at the various ways of calculating quartiles and I can't find one that gives this result, but it is the same result as you can get from R (which datamash claims to be equivalent to):
data <- c(0,1,1,2,3,6)
summary(data)

   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  0.000   1.000   1.500   2.167   2.750   6.000

I can't tell you any more than that.
