Class RunningStatistics

java.lang.Object
ffx.numerics.math.RunningStatistics
public class RunningStatistics extends Object
The RunningStatistics class uses online, stable algorithms to calculate summary statistics from a source of doubles, including mean, variance, standard deviation, max, min, sum, and count.

This is intended for accuracy and numerical stability, not necessarily for performance (e.g. using Kahan summation).

This is effectively a dynamic version of SummaryStatistics.
