/**
 * Computes the geometric mean of the available values. Uses the following definition
 * of the geometric mean:
 *
 * \[ \left(\prod_{i=1}^n x_i\right)^\frac{1}{n} \]
 *
 * 
where \( n \) is the number of samples. This implementation uses the log scale:
 *
 * 
\[ \exp{\left( {\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \ln x_i} \right)} \]
 *
 * 

 *   The result is {@code NaN} if no values are added.
 *   
The result is {@code NaN} if any of the values is {@code NaN}.
 *   
The result is {@code NaN} if any of the values is negative.
 *   
The result is {@code +infinity} if all values are in the range {@code (0, +infinity]}
 *       and at least one value is {@code +infinity}.
 *   
The result is {@code 0} if all values are in the range {@code [0, +infinity)}
 *       and at least one value is zero.
 *   
The result is {@code NaN} if all values are in the range {@code [0, +infinity]}
 *       and at least one value is zero, and one value is {@code +infinity}.
 * 
 *
 * Supports up to 2⁶³ (exclusive) observations.
 * This implementation does not check for overflow of the count.
 *
 * 
This class is designed to work with (though does not require)
 * {@linkplain java.util.stream streams}.
 *
 * 
This instance is not thread safe.
 * If multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently,
 * and at least one of the threads invokes the {@link java.util.function.DoubleConsumer#accept(double) accept} or
 * {@link StatisticAccumulator#combine(StatisticResult) combine} method, it must be synchronized externally.
 *
 * 
However, it is safe to use {@link java.util.function.DoubleConsumer#accept(double) accept}
 * and {@link StatisticAccumulator#combine(StatisticResult) combine}
 * as {@code accumulator} and {@code combiner} functions of
 * {@link java.util.stream.Collector Collector} on a parallel stream,
 * because the parallel instance of {@link java.util.stream.Stream#collect Stream.collect()}
 * provides the necessary partitioning, isolation, and merging of results for
 * safe and efficient parallel execution.
