/**
* This type of statistical collector takes a sequence of real-valued
* observations and can return the average,
* the variance, a confidence interval for the theoretical mean, etc.
* Each call to {@link #add add} provides a new observation.
* When the broadcasting to observers is activated,
* the method {@link #add add} will also pass this new information to its
* registered observers.
* This type of collector does not memorize the individual observations,
* but only their number, sum, sum of squares, maximum, and minimum.
* The subclass {@link TallyStore} offers a collector that memorizes
* the observations.
