/**
* Computes the arithmetic mean of a set of values. Uses the definitional
* formula:
*
* mean = sum(x_i) / n
*
* where n is the number of observations.
*
* When {@link #increment(double)} is used to add data incrementally from a
* stream of (unstored) values, the value of the statistic that
* {@link #getResult()} returns is computed using the following recursive
* updating algorithm:
*
* - Initialize
m = the first value
* - For each additional value, update using
* m = m + (new value - m) / (number of observations)
*
* If {@link #evaluate(double[])} is used to compute the mean of an array
* of stored values, a two-pass, corrected algorithm is used, starting with
* the definitional formula computed using the array of stored values and then
* correcting this by adding the mean deviation of the data values from the
* arithmetic mean. See, e.g. "Comparison of Several Algorithms for Computing
* Sample Means and Variances," Robert F. Ling, Journal of the American
* Statistical Association, Vol. 69, No. 348 (Dec., 1974), pp. 859-866.
*
* Returns Double.NaN if the dataset is empty. Note that
* Double.NaN may also be returned if the input includes NaN and / or infinite
* values.
*
* Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If
* multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least
* one of the threads invokes the increment() or
* clear() method, it must be synchronized externally.
