Request for Owl of Minerva to report summary statistics (particularly measures of centre and spread)

Hi there,

Just thought of another potential suggestion.

I was wondering if the game moderators could build a function into the Owl of Minerva mechanic. In addition to already providing a report of the prices of a given item by various vendors, I was wondering if the Owl of Minerva could also report summary statistics (particularly measures of centre and spread) of selling prices.
By this, I mean, specifically:
The Owl of Minerva would calculate the mean (or average), median, range (maximum and minimum prices), and/or standard deviation of all the selling prices deemed by each vendor for a particular item. The Owl need not calculate ALL of these statistics, but at least some reliable measures of centre and spread of the prices in mesos.
Why measures of *both* centre and spread of selling prices? Well, so that we could see if the mean is influenced by extremely large or extremely low prices.
I suggest this because sometimes a list of selling prices for a particular item are several pages long. Although I'm sure many of us go by the mode of the prices (i.e. the most frequently sold value), reports of such summary statistics will help us make a more informed decision as to how to proceed with buying and selling items.
By the way, I'm no statistician by any stretch. If anyone has a better idea as to the implementation of this function, I'm all ears!

A potential caveat I see to the implementation of this function is that it would make buying and selling items a bit too easy of a feat. I would imagine this would save a lot of time and room for error for both novice merchants and experienced merchants trying to make money or sell items -- thereby compromising the effort, ingenuity, and satisfaction achieved while merching.

Just another thought I've came up with and thought would be worth sharing. Thanks again!
