I am not sure of the best way to evaluate the summary statistic fxn. Currently just using expected values on the geospiza dataset. This will only help if I change things as the calculations are based on current code. However, difficult to test independently because involves some complicated fxns like lm and ks.test. not sure best way to do this.

Right, following on from what happened in #64, can I suggest that we take the same approach as what we did with #57 and do some redundant implementation? That way we won't rely on specific numbers. I'll update the numbers here for now, but this won't be a big deal to get right.

Hi @richfitz and @mwpennell just a dumb question: What do the abbreviations of the summary statistics stand for, as returned by function arbutus?

Not a dumb question, this is the same problem as #17 -- be nice to have this info somewhere easy to find

Yes, the way the help file of the function is written now doesn't facilitate this. Maybe having a "Value" section in the help explaining this would be nice indeed. Thanks!
