# the mean and median are similar for all files, indicating solid, outlier free data. 
# standard deviation is quite high for everything except wind shear, indicating either \
# inconsistent readings for everything but wind shear, or more likely, smaller units and \
# higher rates of change.
# the difference between shr1's iqr and stddev is larger than that of shr2's (shr2's is \
# quite close to its stddev), possibility of one minor outlier
# none of the data is very skewed, the largest (absolute value) being 0.54896, and \
# all of the data has negative kurtosis, meaning when distibuted, it will have a shallower \
# peak than the bell curve (e^x^2)
# the february and may datasets are similar in that their wind shears are similar, though \
# mays is still larger. they are different in that mays SRH and CAPE are both much higher, \
# so mays tornadoes are much stronger.
