on estimates represent
the (center, (lower, upper)) with center the mean of the conditional pdf
of the value given the data and (lower, upper) is a confidence interval
centered on the median, containing the estimate to a probability
``alpha``.

Converts data to 1-D and assumes all data has the same mean and variance.
Uses Jeffrey's prior for variance and std.

Equivalent to ``tuple((x.mean(), x.interval(alpha)) for x in mvsdist(dat))``

Examples
--------
First a basic example to demonstrate the outputs:

>>> from scipy import stats
>>> data = [6, 9, 12, 7, 8, 8, 13]
>>> mean, var, std = stats.bayes_mvs(data)
>>> mean
Mean(statistic=9.0, minmax=(7.103650222612533, 10.896349777387467))
>>> var
Variance(statistic=10.0, minmax=(3.176724206, 24.45910382))
>>> std
Std_dev(statistic=2.9724954732045084,
        minmax=(1.7823367265645143, 4.945614605014631))

Now we generate some normally distributed random data, and get estimates of
mean and standard deviation with 95% confidence intervals for those
estimates:

>>> n_samples = 100000
>>> data = stats.norm.rvs(size=n_samples)
>>> res_mean, res_var, res_std = stats.bayes_mvs(data, alpha=0.95)

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
>>> ax.hist(data, bins=100, density=True, label='Histogram of data')
>>> ax.vlines(res_mean.statistic, 0, 0.5, colors='r', label='Estimated mean')
>>> ax.axvspan(res_mean.minmax[0],res_mean.minmax[1], facecolor='r',
...            alpha=0.2, label=r'Estimated mean (95% limits)')
>>> ax.vlines(res_std.statistic, 0, 0.5, colors='g', label='Estimated scale')
>>> ax.axvspan(res_std.minmax[0],res_std.minmax[1], facecolor='g', alpha=0.2,
...            label=r'Estimated scale (95% limits)')

>>> ax.legend(fontsize=10)
>>> ax.set_xlim([-4, 4])
>>> ax.set_ylim([0, 0.5])
>>> plt.show()
