// .NAME vtkMultiCorrelativeStatistics - A class for linear correlation
//
// .SECTION Description
// Given a selection of sets of columns of interest, this class provides the
// following functionalities, depending on the execution mode it is executed in:
// * Learn: calculates means, unbiased variance and covariance estimators of
//   column pairs coefficient.
//   More precisely, Learn calculates the averages and centered
//   variance/covariance sums; if \p finalize is set to true (default),
//   the final statistics are calculated.
//   The output metadata on port OUTPUT_MODEL is a multiblock dataset containing at a minimum
//   one vtkTable holding the raw sums in a sparse matrix style. If \a finalize is
//   true, then one additional vtkTable will be present for each requested set of
//   column correlations. These additional tables contain column averages, the
//   upper triangular portion of the covariance matrix (in the upper right hand
//   portion of the table) and the Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix
//   (in the lower portion of the table beneath the covariance triangle).
//   The leftmost column will be a vector of column averages.
//   The last entry in the column averages vector is the number of samples.
//   As an example, consider a request for a 3-column correlation with columns
//   named ColA, ColB, and ColC.
//   The resulting table will look like this:
//   <pre>
//      Column  |Mean     |ColA     |ColB     |ColC
//      --------+---------+---------+---------+---------
//      ColA    |avg(A)   |cov(A,A) |cov(A,B) |cov(A,C)
//      ColB    |avg(B)   |chol(1,1)|cov(B,B) |cov(B,C)
//      ColC    |avg(C)   |chol(2,1)|chol(2,2)|cov(C,C)
//      Cholesky|length(A)|chol(3,1)|chol(3,2)|chol(3,3)
//   </pre>
// * Assess: given a set of results matrices as specified above in input port INPUT_MODEL and
//   tabular data on input port INPUT_DATA that contains column names matching those
//   of the tables on input port INPUT_MODEL, the assess mode computes the relative
//   deviation of each observation in port INPUT_DATA's table according to the linear
//   correlations implied by each table in port INPUT_MODEL.
//  
// .SECTION Thanks
// Thanks to Philippe Pebay, Jackson Mayo, and David Thompson of
// Sandia National Laboratories for implementing this class.
