/**
 * <p>Computes the arithmetic mean of a set of values. Uses the definitional
 * formula:</p>
 * <p>
 * mean = sum(x_i) / n
 * </p>
 * <p>where <code>n</code> is the number of observations.
 * </p>
 * <p>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: </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li>Initialize <code>m = </code> the first value</li>
 * <li>For each additional value, update using <br>
 *   <code>m = m + (new value - m) / (number of observations)</code></li>
 * </ol>
 * <p> 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. </p>
 * <p>
 *  Returns <code>Double.NaN</code> if the dataset is empty.
 * </p>
 * <strong>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</strong> If
 * multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least
 * one of the threads invokes the <code>increment()</code> or
 * <code>clear()</code> method, it must be synchronized externally.
