TSRMS(1) TSRMS(1) NAME tsrms - take the root mean square of a time series SYNOPSIS tsrms [-p] [-t] [-v] [filename] DESCRIPTION Tsrms is for taking the root mean square of a time series. The value of a sample in the time series is squared and added to the cumulative sum of squares to make a new time series. The new time series is printed to stdout. The input file structure is a text file consisting of records, in tem- poral order, one record per time series sample. Blank records are ignored, and comment records are signified by a '#' character as the first non white space character in the record. Data records must con- tain at least one field, which is the data value of the sample, but may contain many fields-if the record contains many fields, then the first field is regarded as the sample's time, and the last field as the sam- ple's value at that time. OPTIONS -p Don't output the time series, only the root mean square value. -t Sample's time will be included in the output time series. -v Print the version and copyright banner of the program. filename Input filename. WARNINGS There is little or no provision for handling numerical exceptions.
