Run statistical analysis on FRED® time series data via pipeline input.

The analyze command consumes JSONL from stdin and produces summary statistics or trend estimates. It is a terminal operator — it does not emit JSONL for further piping.

Examples:

Summary — descriptive statistics (mean, median, std, etc.)
Trend — direction and slope of a time series

USAGE

reserve analyze [subcommand]

Available Subcommands:

summary	Compute descriptive statistics for a series
trend	Fit a trend model (linear or Theil-Sen)

reserve analyze [subcommand] –help (for more details about a specific subcommand)

SUMMARY

Compute descriptive statistics for a time series.

Outputs include count, missing values, mean, standard deviation, percentiles, and change over time.

# Basic usage
reserve obs get UNRATE –format jsonl | reserve analyze summary

# Handle missing values
reserve obs get UNRATE –format jsonl | reserve transform filter –drop-missing | reserve analyze summary

# Basic usage
reserve obs get UNRATE –format jsonl | reserve analyze summary

# Handle missing values
reserve obs get UNRATE –format jsonl | reserve transform filter –drop-missing | reserve analyze summary

TREND

Estimate the direction and slope of a time series.

Supports linear regression and Theil-Sen (robust to outliers and structural breaks).

Usage: reserve analyze trend [–method linear|theil-sen]

# Linear trend (default)
reserve obs get CPIAUCSL –start 2020-01-01 –format jsonl | reserve analyze trend

# Robust trend
 reserve obs get CPIAUCSL –start 2020-01-01 –format jsonl | reserve analyze trend –method theil-sen
 
 # Smoothe transformations
 reserve obs get CPIAUCSL –start 2020-01-01 –format jsonl | reserve transform pct-change –period 12 | reserve window roll –stat mean –window 3 | reserve analyze trend

# Linear trend (default)
reserve obs get CPIAUCSL –start 2020-01-01 –format jsonl | reserve analyze trend

# Robust trend
 reserve obs get CPIAUCSL –start 2020-01-01 –format jsonl | reserve analyze trend –method theil-sen
 
 # Smoothe transformations
 reserve obs get CPIAUCSL –start 2020-01-01 –format jsonl | reserve transform pct-change –period 12 | reserve window roll –stat mean –window 3 | reserve analyze trend
