/**
* Represents an
* empirical probability distribution -- a probability distribution derived
* from observed data without making any assumptions about the functional form
* of the population distribution that the data come from.
*
* An EmpiricalDistribution maintains data structures, called
* distribution digests, that describe empirical distributions and
* support the following operations:
* - loading the distribution from a file of observed data values
* - dividing the input data into "bin ranges" and reporting bin frequency
* counts (data for histogram)
* - reporting univariate statistics describing the full set of data values
* as well as the observations within each bin
* - generating random values from the distribution
*
* Applications can use EmpiricalDistribution to build grouped
* frequency histograms representing the input data or to generate random values
* "like" those in the input file -- i.e., the values generated will follow the
* distribution of the values in the file.
*
* The implementation uses what amounts to the
*
* Variable Kernel Method with Gaussian smoothing:
* Digesting the input file
*
- Pass the file once to compute min and max.
* - Divide the range from min-max into
binCount "bins."
* - Pass the data file again, computing bin counts and univariate
* statistics (mean, std dev.) for each of the bins
* - Divide the interval (0,1) into subintervals associated with the bins,
* with the length of a bin's subinterval proportional to its count.
* Generating random values from the distribution
* - Generate a uniformly distributed value in (0,1)
* - Select the subinterval to which the value belongs.
*
- Generate a random Gaussian value with mean = mean of the associated
* bin and std dev = std dev of associated bin.
*
* EmpiricalDistribution implements the {@link RealDistribution} interface
* as follows. Given x within the range of values in the dataset, let B
* be the bin containing x and let K be the within-bin kernel for B. Let P(B-)
* be the sum of the probabilities of the bins below B and let K(B) be the
* mass of B under K (i.e., the integral of the kernel density over B). Then
* set P(X < x) = P(B-) + P(B) * K(x) / K(B) where K(x) is the kernel distribution
* evaluated at x. This results in a cdf that matches the grouped frequency
* distribution at the bin endpoints and interpolates within bins using
* within-bin kernels.
*
*USAGE NOTES:
*- The
binCount is set by default to 1000. A good rule of thumb
* is to set the bin count to approximately the length of the input file divided
* by 10.
*- The input file must be a plain text file containing one valid numeric
* entry per line.
*
