# Stats aggregation [search-aggregations-metrics-stats-aggregation]
A `multi-value` metrics aggregation that computes stats over numeric values extracted from the aggregated documents.
The stats that are returned consist of: `min`, `max`, `sum`, `count` and `avg`.
Assuming the data consists of documents representing exams grades (between 0 and 100) of students
```console
POST /exams/_search?size=0
{
"aggs": {
"grades_stats": { "stats": { "field": "grade" } }
}
}
```
The above aggregation computes the grades statistics over all documents. The aggregation type is `stats` and the `field` setting defines the numeric field of the documents the stats will be computed on. The above will return the following:
```console-result
{
...
"aggregations": {
"grades_stats": {
"count": 2,
"min": 50.0,
"max": 100.0,
"avg": 75.0,
"sum": 150.0
}
}
}
```
The name of the aggregation (`grades_stats` above) also serves as the key by which the aggregation result can be retrieved from the returned response.
## Script [_script_12]
If you need to get the `stats` for something more complex than a single field, run the aggregation on a [runtime field](docs-content://manage-data/data-store/mapping/runtime-fields.md).
```console
POST /exams/_search
{
"size": 0,
"runtime_mappings": {
"grade.weighted": {
"type": "double",
"script": """
emit(doc['grade'].value * doc['weight'].value)
"""
}
},
"aggs": {
"grades_stats": {
"stats": {
"field": "grade.weighted"
}
}
}
}
```
## Missing value [_missing_value_15]
The `missing` parameter defines how documents that are missing a value should be treated. By default they will be ignored but it is also possible to treat them as if they had a value.
```console
POST /exams/_search?size=0
{
"aggs": {
"grades_stats": {
"stats": {
"field": "grade",
"missing": 0 <1>
}
}
}
}
```
1. Documents without a value in the `grade` field will fall into the same bucket as documents that have the value `0`.
