=== Extended Stats Bucket Aggregation

A sibling pipeline aggregation which calculates a variety of stats across all bucket of a specified metric in a sibling aggregation.
The specified metric must be numeric and the sibling aggregation must be a multi-bucket aggregation.

This aggregation provides a few more statistics (sum of squares, standard deviation, etc) compared to the `stats_bucket` aggregation.

==== Syntax

A `extended_stats_bucket` aggregation looks like this in isolation:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "extended_stats_bucket": {
        "buckets_path": "the_sum"
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE

[[extended-stats-bucket-params]]
.`extended_stats_bucket` Parameters
[options="header"]
|===
|Parameter Name |Description |Required |Default Value
|`buckets_path` |The path to the buckets we wish to calculate stats for (see <<buckets-path-syntax>> for more
 details) |Required |
|`gap_policy` |The policy to apply when gaps are found in the data (see <<gap-policy>> for more
 details)|Optional | `skip`
|`format` |format to apply to the output value of this aggregation |Optional | `null`
|`sigma` |The number of standard deviations above/below the mean to display |Optional | 2
|===

The following snippet calculates the extended stats for monthly `sales` bucket:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /sales/_search
{
    "size": 0,
    "aggs" : {
        "sales_per_month" : {
            "date_histogram" : {
                "field" : "date",
                "calendar_interval" : "month"
            },
            "aggs": {
                "sales": {
                    "sum": {
                        "field": "price"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "stats_monthly_sales": {
            "extended_stats_bucket": {
                "buckets_path": "sales_per_month>sales" <1>
            }
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]

<1> `bucket_paths` instructs this `extended_stats_bucket` aggregation that we want the calculate stats for the `sales` aggregation in the
`sales_per_month` date histogram.

And the following may be the response:
