/**
 **  This file contains a few classes that represent number sequence,
 **  x1, x2, x3, ..., xN, and can calculate their avg, max, and sd.
 **
 **  Here's a quick description of the classes:
 **
 **    AbsSeq: abstract superclass
 **    NumberSeq: the sequence is assumed to be very long and the
 **      maximum, avg, sd, davg, and dsd are calculated over all its elements
 **    TruncatedSeq: this class keeps track of the last L elements
 **      of the sequence and calculates avg, max, and sd only over them
 **/
