The key to the mystery is that, as far as you've told gnuplot by the 
time your script issues the 'stat' command, that data file has not 2, 
but 3 columns:

> 2015-10-25 14, 95
> 2015-10-30 04, 474
> 2015-11-01 12, 93
> 2015-11-01 13, 320
> 2015-11-01 14, 425
> 2015-11-01 15, 80

If you want 'stats' to treat that as a 2-column file, you have to
place this:

 > # File specifics
 > set datafile sep ','

_before_ the stats command.
