// Class AliSample
// Perform statistics on various multi-dimensional data samples.
// A data sample can be filled using the "Enter" and/or "Remove" functions,
// whereas the "Reset" function resets the complete sample to 'empty'.
// The info which can be extracted from a certain data sample are the
// sum, mean, variance, sigma, covariance and correlation.
// The "Data" function provides all statistics data for a certain sample.
// The variables for which these stat. parameters have to be calculated
// are indicated by the index of the variable which is passed as an
// argument to the various member functions.
// The index convention for a data point (x,y) is : x=1  y=2
//
// Example :
// ---------
// For an AliSample s a data point (x,y) can be entered as s.Enter(x,y) and
// the mean_x can be obtained as s.GetMean(1) whereas the mean_y is obtained
// via s.GetMean(2).
// The correlation between x and y is available via s.GetCor(1,2).
// The x-statistics are obtained via s.Data(1), y-statistics via s.Data(2),
// and the covariance and correlation between x and y via s.Data(1,2).
// All statistics of a sample are obtained via s.Data().
