The statistics classes in ITK have MeasurementVectorSize (length of each measurement vector) as a static const value.

For algorithms such as Normalized cuts and other Kernel PCA feature space projection techniques, it may be necessary to keep the dimensionality of the feature space as a variable. This requires removing MeasurementVectorSize as a static method and making it an iVar.

Refactoring the Statistics Framework to have Runtime Length

Currently, the Statistics Framework requires the MeasurementVector to have a length defined at compile time.

Rationale for having compile time length

The statistics classes in ITK have MeasurementVectorSize (length of each measurement vector) as a static const value. This has until now been sufficient since typical statistics operations involve sampling an image where the number of measurement vectors is a variable, but the measurement vector size is usually fixed and depends on the dimension of the parametric space.
