Computes statistics according to cumulative functions

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

## Description

Statistics on model responses will be computed according to a cumulative distribution/belief/plausibility function.

Default Behavior

By default, a cumulative distribution/belief/plausibility function will be used. To explicitly specify it in the Dakota input file, however, the `cumulative` keyword must be appear in conjunction with the `distribution` keyword.

Expected Outputs

Output will be a set of model response-probability pairs determined according to a cumulative distribution/belief/plausibility function. The probabilities reported are the probabilities that the model response falls below given response threshholds.

## Examples
