JDB is package of commands for manipulating flat-ASCII databases from
shell scripts. JDB is useful to process medium amounts of data (with
very little data you'd do it by hand, with megabytes you might want a
real database). JDB is very good at doing things like:
- extracting measurements from experimental output
- re-examining data to address different hypotheses
- joining data from different experiments
- eliminating/detecting outliers
- computing statistics on data (mean, confidence intervals,
correlations, histograms)
- reformatting data for graphing programs
