get the list of all possible stats

[lldelisle]

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to get the list of all possible stats described here:

pyBigWig/libBigWig/bigWig.h

Lines 99 to 107 in 705b074

	mean = 0, /*!< The mean value */
	average = 0, /*!< The mean value */
	stdev = 1, /*!< The standard deviation of the values */
	dev = 1, /*!< The standard deviation of the values */
	max = 2, /*!< The maximum value */
	min = 3, /*!< The minimum value */
	cov = 4, /*!< The number of bases covered */
	coverage = 4, /*!<The number of bases covered */
	sum = 5 /*!< The sum of per-base values */

For example,

import pyBigWig
possible_stats = pyBigWig.stats_cases
possible_stats
['mean', 'average', 'max', 'min', 'stdev', 'dev', 'coverage', 'cov', 'sum']

Or something like this...
Many thanks

You mean you want all of them for a given region or just to have a list of the stats that could be returned? It's always just been the 6 that you mentioned, though I suppose if there are ever others added then something like pyBigWig.statistics that returned a list of the possibilities would make sense.

Hi,
Yes, the idea would be just to have a list of strings with the possible options for stats.
Thanks
