> On more than one occasion I've found myself wishing for analytic aggregations like our {{o.a.e.analytics.math3.stat.Statistic.MEAN}}, etc but either being unable to use {{JsonAnalytics}} because it lacks batched aggregation support or simply wanting something less cumbersome to use because I had a simple use case - e.g., wanting to compute a windowed MEAN for a TStream<Double> yielding a stream of TStream<Double>.
> Life would be better if there were Collection-based (not TStream/TWindow based) aggregation methods supporting the same set of Statistic and Regression aggregate ops that have been defined for use on JsonObjects.  For example,
> {code}
> static double aggregate(Collection<? extends Number> c, UnivariateAggregate stat)
> {code}
> See the associated PR for the full API, etc.
> Unfortunately the existing {{o.a.e.analytics.math3.stat.Statistic}} and Regression enums lack a "Json" name or package prefix though they are inherently tied to other unnecessarily Json-specific interfaces/classes.  That results in the need to define tuple-type-agnostic analogs like Statistics2 and Regression2 (for lack of something better) and the supporting interfaces/classes.
> Not included with this JIRA/PR is the opportunity to then unify around using these new tuple-type-agnostic Statistic2,Regression2 by augmenting JsonAnalytics to have methods that take them as arguments.  Then json-specific Statistic, Regression and the JsonAnalytic methods that use them can be marked deprecated.
