13 =head1 NAME
15 Bio::Search::BlastStatistics - An object for Blast statistics
17 =head1 SYNOPSIS
19 # this is a wrapper to hold the statistics from a Blast report
20 my $bs = $result->get_statistics();
21 # you can get a statistic generically, like this:
22 my $kappa = $bs->get_statistic("kappa");
23 # or specifically, like this:
24 my $kappa2 = $bs->get_kappa();
