> The code for the Statistics examples is not running and can easily be fixed. Example:
> // Get a DescriptiveStatistics instance
> DescriptiveStatistics stats = new DescriptiveStatistics();
> // Add the data from the array
> for( int i = 0; i < inputArray.length; i++) {
>         stats.addValue(inputArray[i]);
> }
> // Compute some statistics
> double mean = stats.getMean();
> double std = stats.getStandardDeviation();
> double median = stats.getMedian();
> Fails with getMedian not found, change to getPercentile(50);
> The second Codeexample for StatuUtils states:
> // Compute statistics directly from the array
> // assume values is a double[] array
> double mean = StatUtils.mean(values);
> double std = StatUtils.variance(values);
> double median = StatUtils.percentile(50);
> the last line needs to be changed to: double median = StatUtils.percentile(values,50);
