Try csvstat

Try csvstat or xsv stats

Note on non-integer numbers

FYI: non-integers seem to be handled differently by csvkit and xsv:

$ echo 1.1 2.2 9.9 9.9 | tr " " "\n" | csvstat --no-header-row --csv 2>/dev/null | csvcut -c median median 6.05 $ echo 1.1 2.2 9.9 9.9 | tr " " "\n" | xsv stats --no-headers --everything | xsv select median median 6.050000000000001 

CSVKIT is older and more well-known, I think. XSV is newer and much faster for big inputs.

csvstat

CSVKIT is older and more well-known, so you can usually easily install it via your package manager of choice. XSV is newer and much faster for big inputs but you may have to install it manually.

csvkit's csvstat

csvstat is one of the commands of csvkit.
