// .NAME vtkPCorrelativeStatistics - A class for parallel bivariate correlative statistics
// .SECTION Description
// vtkPCorrelativeStatistics is vtkCorrelativeStatistics subclass for parallel datasets.
// It learns and derives the global statistical model on each node, but assesses each 
// individual data points on the node that owns it.

// .SECTION Thanks
// Thanks to Philippe Pebay from Sandia National Laboratories for implementing this class.
