OK then. It looks like RudiC guessed correctly on everything you were trying to do and on your stat file format. And, as long as you give it at least two stat files to process, it looks to me like his code produces the output you want. If you just give it one input file, however, it won't print any headers.

By moving some of this code into a function, as shown below, and processing command line arguments as I suggested before, you seem to get what you want:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then	printf 'Usage: %s output_file stat_file...\n' "${0%%*/}" >&2
	exit 1
fi

# where to write the output
logfile=$1
# remaining operands are stat files to be read directly by awk...
shift

awk '
BEGIN           {LAB="train statistics|test statistics|validate statistics|ival statistics"
                }

function prec()	{if(! HDDONE)	{printf "filename"
                                 for (i=1; i<=CNT; i++) printf OFS"%s", HD[i]
                                 printf ORS
                                 HDDONE = 1
                                }
                 printf "%s", FN
                 for (i=1; i<=CNT; i++) printf OFS"%s", VAL[HD[i]]
                 printf ORS
                 split ("", VAL)
                }

FNR == 1        {if (NR != 1) prec()
		 FN = FILENAME
		}

$0 ~ LAB        {PH = $1
                 for (i=1; i<=5; i++)   {getline
                                         IX = PH "_" $1
                                         VAL[IX] = $2
                                         if (! HDDONE) HD[++CNT] = IX 
                                        }
                } 

END             {prec()
                }

' OFS="\t" "$@" > "$logfile"

And, if your system has the column utility, you can use it to print the log file this creates (which contains <tab> separated fields) into aligned text using the command:
Code:
column -t logfile.txt

where logfile.txt is the name of the output you supplied to the above script as its first operand. And if we do that with the sample file you uploaded with post #8 after invoking the script above with:
Code:
script_name logfile.txt S-mae_0.3810_V-mae_0.4956_all_B30_E800_EC503_S1v1_30.15.1.txt

and then run:
Code:
column -t logfile.txt

the output we get is:
Code:
filename                                                       train_r2  train_MeAE  train_MdAE  train_SE  train_n  test_r2  test_MeAE  test_MdAE  test_SE  test_n  validate_r2  validate_MeAE  validate_MdAE  validate_SE  validate_n  ival_r2  ival_MeAE  ival_MdAE  ival_SE  ival_n
S-mae_0.3810_V-mae_0.4956_all_B30_E800_EC503_S1v1_30.15.1.txt  0.8320    0.3215      0.2784      0.3068    400      0.7183   0.3810     0.2922     0.4129   400     0.5309       0.4956         0.4186         0.5013       400         0.0000   0.0000     0.0000     0.0000   0

Note that if you call this script with more than one stat file, it still only invokes awk once but will process all of the stat files you feed it.
