.SH NAME
sumstats \- derive aggregate statistics from bxb, rxr, etc., line-format output
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBsumstats\fR \fIfile\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program derives the aggregate statistics described in sections 4.6.1 and
5.6 of \fITesting and Reporting Performance Results of Ventricular
Arrhythmia Detection Algorithms\fR (AAMI ECAR-1987), and
additional statistics specified by the \fIAmerican National Standard for
Ambulatory Electrocardiographs\fR (ANSI/AAMI EC38-1994).
.PP
To use this program, first generate a line-format report \fIfile\fR using the
\fB-l\fR or \fB-L\fR options of \fIbxb\fR(1), \fIepic\fR(1), \fImxm\fR(1), or
\fIrxr\fR(1).  This file must include column headings so that \fIsumstats\fR
can recognize the file type.  Output is written to the standard output;  it
includes a copy of the input file, with aggregate statistics appended at the
end.
