/**
 * 
 * * Representation of a distribution of uncertainties for a single value. It is
 * the statistical summary or accumulation of several possible uncertainties. It
 * can roughly be imagined as describing the probabilities of the possible
 * deviations of the uncertain value to the actual value: For a given uncertain
 * value v, the (lower,mean,upper) elements of an
 * (absolute) distribution indicate that the actual value will never be smaller
 * than (v+lower) and never be greater than (v+upper),
 * and "on average", the actual value will be (v+mean)
