Analyse statistics from all csv files in the directory or a given data pack

[TechnologyClassroom]

Analyse statistics from all csv files in the directory or a given data pack.

builddatapack.sh runs an arbitrary number of simulations and defaults to 40 runs. Each simulation saves its data into a csv file that looks like this. Each simulation runs some statistics function stats() in dicemechanicsim.py. It would be cool to run statistics comparing several simulations. This would allow easier comparisons between settings used to generate datapacks.

Example data packs can be found in dice-mechnanic-datapacks. data20180219-2137.zip is the latest one uploaded to dice-mechanic-datapacks (dmd).

The best place for this type of script might be a new file called data/datapackstats.py that could be called at the end of builddatapack.sh with a line like python3 ./data/datapackstats.py.

Ideas for statistics:

• What is the average of all event 6 scores within the datapack?
• What is the average high score within each csv?
• What is the average low score within each csv?
• What is the average score after each event?
• Inspect the stats() function in dicemechanicsim.py

I'd like to work on this. Can you provide some more information on this?

[TechnologyClassroom]

@neil007m Cool! Yes, I will write up more on my lunch break in an hour or two. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

@neil007m I added more details. Let me know if it makes more sense or if you need more information.

[neil007m]

@TechnologyClassroom thanks for adding the details! I have a much clearer picture now, you can assign it to me. I should be able to start on this tonight (EDT)

[TechnologyClassroom]

@neil007m Cool! Assigned! Let me know if you have any questions.

The statistics part is more open ended so feel free to be creative or come up with silly metrics. If you want to graph something, feel free to reuse code from plotdicemechanic.py if it helps.

@neil007m One thing to note is that there were changes to my master branch since your last pull request.

@TechnologyClassroom Thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure to fetch the latest from your master. Something came up yesterday, I'll be able to get a good chunk of time after work to get to this.
