/**
 * @class ACE_Stats
 *
 * @brief Provides simple statistical analysis.
 *
 * Simple statistical analysis package.  Prominent features are:
 * -# It does not use any floating point arithmetic.
 * -# It handles positive and/or negative sample values.  The
 *    sample value type is ACE_INT32.
 * -# It uses 64 bit unsigned, but not 64 bit signed, quantities
 *    internally.
 * -# It checks for overflow of internal state.
 * -# It has no static variables of other than built-in types.
 *
 * Example usage:
 *
 * @verbatim
 * ACE_Stats stats;
 * for (u_int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
 * {
 * const ACE_UINT32 sample = ...;
 * stats.sample (sample);
 * }
 * stats.print_summary (3);
 * @endverbatim
