I think I'd go with the getCalcStats() in the stats object. Course, it seems to me (and I'm no expert, so "correct answer", this probably isn't ;) that a lot depends on info you haven't provided. Perhaps the calculated stats are so integral as to warrant being in the gateway.
It is hard to separate Objects, is my standpoint. :-/ Service layers offer an added level of abstraction tho, so that's an interesting idea too... maybe it depends on what your doing... HIH!
