:param image: A PIL image, or a precalculated histogram.
.. note::
For a PIL image, calculations rely on the
:py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.histogram` method. The pixel counts are
grouped into 256 bins, even if the image has more than 8 bits per
channel. So ``I`` and ``F`` mode images have a maximum ``mean``,
``median`` and ``rms`` of 255, and cannot have an ``extrema`` maximum
of more than 255.
