As discussed on prior threads you should have both. There will need to be static convenience methods for a user who wants to make a very simple call, say Stats.mean() . But, as Alex said, this convenience class will just be a front end for the statistics functionality itself. That needs to be in its own classes (Mean(), Variance()) which can produce instances that give the user more flexibility, For example storeless statistics like Mean() or Variance(), or StandardDeviation(), should be updatable, as Gilles said, or handle different kind of streams like Alex said. Yet these classes need to be designed so that they perform as well as simple implementations when desired.
