docs: Calculate statistics for the image.
  
          Statistics are returned in a dict for the given axes.
          E.g. if axes [0,1] is given in a 3-dim image, the statistics are
          calculated for each plane along the 3rd axis. By default statistics
          are calculated for the entire image.
  
          `minmaxvalues` can be given to include or exclude pixels
          with values in the given range. If only one value is given,
          min=-abs(val) and max=abs(val).
  
          By default robust statistics (Median, MedAbsDevMed, and Quartile) are
          calculated too.
