[Insight-developers] Naming Conventions with StatisticsRefactoring

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Bill,

It may be worth to consider the method that we set up in the Migration Guide:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Proposals:Refactoring_Statistics_Framework_2007_Migration_Users_Guide

It lists class by class, what methods have been removed,
and explain what new methods are provided in replacement.

BTW: The recent renaming of classes has not been mapped in this Wiki page.
          We probably should do that at some point.


     Luis
