xsv stats: This is the first part of the command and it uses the xsv tool to calculate statistics for the CSV file provided as an argument.
${filename-csv}: This is a placeholder representing the actual filename of the CSV file. It should be replaced with the actual filename and path.
|: This is a pipe symbol and it is used to pass the output from the previous command as input to the next command.
xsv table: This is the second part of the command and it uses the xsv tool to format the statistical summary in a table structure for better readability.
