- Method Detail
  - mean
```
public static double mean(Collection<? extends Number> samples)
```
    Computes the average of a set of samples. null values will be ignored, not contributing to the average in any way.
    
    Parameters:
    
    samples - must have at least one sample
    
    Returns:
    
    Double.NaN if there are no samples
  - standardDeviation
```
public static double standardDeviation(double mean,
                                       Collection<? extends Number> samples)
```
    Computes the standard deviation of a set of samples. null values will be ignored, not contributing to the deviation in any way. This does not use Bessel's correction.
