Utility method to aggregate SummaryStatistics (was MATH-224)
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-262
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-262
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Steve Phelps


As per closed issue MATH-224, my project also has a requirement to aggregate 
SummaryStatistics.  That is, I would like to keep track of the mean \bar{X_i}, 
and variance of several different random variables { X_1, X_2, .. X_n } as 
separate distributions with separate means \bar{X}_i, and then later combine 
these distributions to estimate the mean and variance of the larger combined 
distribution; eg, the mean and variance of the random variable Y = (X_1 + X_2 
.. + X_n) / n.  I am currently using the patch attached to  MATH-224 which 
works for me, however I would prefer to link with a release version of the 
library.  Is there any way this issue can be re-opened?
