/**
 * This class calculates the pth central moment for double plate stacks, plates, 
 * wells and well sets.
 *
 * Statistical operations can be performed on stacks, plates, sets and wells using
 * standard or aggregated functions. Standard functions calculate the desired
 * statistic for each well in the stack, plate or set. Aggregated functions aggregate
 * the values from all the wells in the stack, plate or set and perform the statistical
 * operation on the aggregated values. Both standard and aggregated functions can
 * be performed on a subset of data within the stack, plate, set or well.
 * 
 * 


 * 
 * The methods within the MicroFlex library are meant to be flexible and the
 * descriptive statistic object supports operations using a single stack, plate,
 * set or well as well as collections and arrays of stacks, plates, sets or wells.
