DescriptiveStatistics based on double[]
---------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-384
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Mikkel Meyer Andersen
            Priority: Minor


Right now the DescriptiveStatistics is for ResizableDoubleArray, but if the 
user has the double[] data she wishes to get DescriptiveStatistics for there is 
no way of doing this (besides the inefficient way of creating a 
ResizableDoubleArray from the double[]).

It would be possible to use StatUtils, but it does not contain near as much 
functionality as DescriptiveStatistics.

Idea: Create a DescriptiveStatistics for double[] also. I'm not sure which way 
of implementing it would be the best, but one way would be to make 
DescriptiveStatistics abstract with all but the apply-method implemented as 
now. The apply-method should be made as abstract which then has to implemented 
in the extensions together with a field containing the values. (addValue, 
windowSize etc. has to go in the ResizableDoubleArray-extension.) The 
double[]-extension should then have a constructor taking double[] as a 
parameter.
