/**
 * <p>Computes the semivariance of a set of values with respect to a given cutoff value.
 * We define the <i>downside semivariance</i> of a set of values <code>x</code>
 * against the <i>cutoff value</i> <code>cutoff</code> to be <br/>
 * <code>&Sigma; (x[i] - target)<sup>2</sup> / df</code> <br/>
 * where the sum is taken over all <code>i</code> such that <code>x[i] < cutoff</code>
 * and <code>df</code> is the length of <code>x</code> (non-bias-corrected) or
 * one less than this number (bias corrected).  The <i>upside semivariance</i>
 * is defined similarly, with the sum taken over values of <code>x</code> that
 * exceed the cutoff value.</p>
 *
 * <p>The cutoff value defaults to the mean, bias correction defaults to <code>true</code>
 * and the "variance direction" (upside or downside) defaults to downside.  The variance direction
 * and bias correction may be set using property setters or their values can provided as
 * parameters to {@link #evaluate(double[], double, Direction, boolean, int, int)}.</p>
 *
 * <p>If the input array is null, <code>evaluate</code> methods throw
 * <code>IllegalArgumentException.</code>  If the array has length 1, <code>0</code>
 * is returned, regardless of the value of the <code>cutoff.</code>
 *
 * <p><strong>Note that this class is not intended to be threadsafe.</strong> If
 * multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and one or
 * more of these threads invoke property setters, external synchronization must
 * be provided to ensure correct results.</p>
