 *   $Log: statisticmeasure.h,v $
 *   Revision 1.1  2009/03/27 06:16:58  guettler
 *   support for gcc 4.3 compatibility (has to be checked), StatisticTools moves from utils to statistictools
 *
 *   Revision 1.7  2008/04/24 11:57:00  der
 *   added new measure types
 *
 *   Revision 1.6  2008/03/12 10:57:07  der
 *   added moving average MOVAVG
 *
 *   Revision 1.5  2008/01/17 09:59:27  der
 *   complexmeasure: preparations made for predictive information,
 *   fixed a minor bug
 *   statisticmeasure, statistictools: added support for adding
 *   std::list<AbstractMeasure*> to StatisticTools, some minor
 *   improvements
 *
 *   Revision 1.4  2007/12/06 10:18:10  der
 *   AbstractMeasure is now a abstract type for Measures,
 *   StatisticTools now supports AbstractMeasures,
 *   StatisticalMeasure, ComplexMeasure  now derived from
 *   AbstractMeasure,
 *   ComplexMeasure provides support for calculation e.g. entropy,
 *   uses Discretisizer,
 *   Discretisizer is a stand-alone class for support of discretisizing values
 *   TrackableMeasure derived from ComplexMeasure and provides support for calculating complex measures for Trackable objects
 *
 *   Revision 1.3  2007/09/28 08:48:21  robot3
 *   corrected some minor bugs, files are still in develop status
 *
 *   Revision 1.2  2007/09/27 10:49:39  robot3
 *   removed some minor bugs,
 *   added CONVergence test
 *   changed little things for support of the new WSM
 *
 *   Revision 1.1  2007/05/07 21:01:31  robot3
 *   statistictools is a class for easy visualization of measurements of observed values
 *   it is possible to add the observed value itself with mode ID
 *
 *                                                                         *
