       window     I   Window to be summarized.
       meas       O   Total measure of intervals in window.

       stddev     O   Standard deviation.
       shortest,
       longest    O   Locations of shortest, longest intervals.

#### Detailed_Input

       window      is a window containing zero or more intervals.

                   window must be declared as a double precision SpiceCell.

#### Detailed_Output

       meas        is the total measure of the intervals in the input
                   window. This is just the sum of the measures of the
                   individual intervals.

       avg         is the average of the measures of the intervals in
                   the input window.

       stddev      is the standard deviation of the measures of the
                   intervals in the input window.

       shortest,
       longest     are the locations of the shortest and longest
                   intervals in the input window. The shortest interval
                   is

                      [   SPICE_CELL_ELEM_D( window, shortest   ),
                          SPICE_CELL_ELEM_D( window, shortest+1 )   ]

                   and the longest is

                      [   SPICE_CELL_ELEM_D( window, longest   ),
                          SPICE_CELL_ELEM_D( window, longest+1 )   ]

                   shortest and longest are both zero if the input window
                   contains no intervals.

                   If window contains multiple intervals having the shortest
                   length, shortest is the index of the first such interval.
                   Likewise for the longest length.

                   Indices range from 0 to N-1, where N is the number of
                   intervals in the window.

#### Parameters

       None.

#### Exceptions

       1) If the input window does not have double precision type,
          the error SPICE(TYPEMISMATCH) is signaled.

#### Files

       None.

#### Particulars

       This routine provides a summary of the input window, consisting
       of the following items:

          - The measure of the window.

          - The average and standard deviation of the measures
            of the individual intervals in the window.

          - The indices of the left endpoints of the shortest
            and longest intervals in the window.

       All of these quantities are zero if the window contains no
       intervals.

#### Examples

       Let a contain the intervals

             [ 1, 3 ]  [ 7, 11 ]  [ 23, 27 ]

       Let b contain the singleton intervals

             [ 2, 2 ]  [ 9, 9 ]  [ 27, 27 ]

       The measures of a and b are

             (3-1) + (11-7) + (27-23) = 10

       and

             (2-2) + (9-9) + (27-27) = 0

       respectively. Each window has three intervals; thus, the average
       measures of the windows are 10/3 and 0. The standard deviations
       are

            ----------------------------------------------
           |          2         2          2
           |     (3-1)  + (11-7)  + (27-23)           2             1/2
           |     ---------------------------  - (10/3)       = (8/9)
           |                3
         \ |
          \|

       and 0. Neither window has one "shortest" interval or "longest"
       interval; so the first ones found are returned: shortest and longest
       are 0 and 2 for a, 0 and 0 for b.
