- Method Detail
  - getName
```
java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns the name of this statistic.
  - getUnit
```
java.lang.String getUnit()
```
    Returns the unit of measurement for this statistic.
  - getDescription
```
java.lang.String getDescription()
```
    Returns the description of this statistic.
  - getStartTime
```
long getStartTime()
```
    Returns the time the first measurement was taken represented as a long.
  - getLastSampleTime
```
long getLastSampleTime()
```
    Returns the time the most recent measurement was taken represented as a long.
  - setDataInfo
```
void setDataInfo(PmiModuleConfig config)
```
    Set textual information. If the text information like name, description, and unit are null then this method can be used to bind the text information to the Stats. The text information will be set by default.

  - getId
```
int getId()
```
    Returns the Statistic ID
  - getDataInfo
```
PmiDataInfo getDataInfo()
```
    Returns the statistic config information.
  - update
```
void update(WSStatistic newStatistic)
```
    Updates this statistic with the given value
    
    Parameters:
    newStatistic - must have the same statistic ID and type
  - delta
```
WSStatistic delta(WSStatistic otherStatistic)
```
    Returns the difference between this statistic and the parameter otherStatistic
    
    Parameters:
    otherStatistic - must have the same statistic ID and type
    
    Returns:
    a Statistic object whose value is (this - otherStatistic)
  - combine
```
void combine(WSStatistic otherStatistic)
```
    Returns the aggregate the value of this statistic and parameter otherStatistic
    
    Parameters:
    otherStatistic - must have the same statistic ID and type
  - resetOnClient
```
void resetOnClient(WSStatistic otherStatistic)
```
    Resets the statistic with the parameter otherStatistic. When the parameter otherStatistic is null the statistic will be reset to zero. Note that the reset happens only the client side and not in the server side.
    
    Parameters:
    otherStatistic - must have the same statistic ID and type

  - toString
```
java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns the String representation of this statistic
