Description of detection logic

IsRegressionBase: Marked as regression because the compare was 5% greater than the baseline, and the value was not too small.
IsRegressionChecked: Marked as regression because the three check build points were 0.05 greater than the baseline.
IsImprovementBase: Marked as not an improvement because the compare was not 5% less than the baseline, or the value was too small.
IsRegressionBase: Marked as regression because the compare was 5% greater than the baseline, and the value was not too small.
IsRegressionChecked: Marked as regression because the three check build points were 0.05 greater than the baseline.
IsRegressionWindowed: Marked as regression because 30.56139884373733 > 22.162571155928923.
IsChangePoint: Marked as a change because one of 7/11/2023 4:42:37 PM, 7/17/2023 10:23:26 PM falls between 7/8/2023 10:33:35 PM and 7/17/2023 10:23:26 PM.
IsRegressionStdDev: Marked as regression because -21.022921534886514 (T) = (0 -31.147861381283537) / Math.Sqrt((1.517396892248452 / (19)) + (1.2361673827607123 / (9))) is less than -2.055529438636913 = MathNet.Numerics.Distributions.StudentT.InvCDF(0, 1, (19) + (9) - 2, .025) and -0.45892641518662153 = (21.34985086091487 - 31.147861381283537) / 21.34985086091487 is less than -0.05.
IsImprovementBase: Marked as not an improvement because the compare was not 5% less than the baseline, or the value was too small.
IsChangeEdgeDetector: Marked not as a regression because Edge Detector said so.

Regression may be caused by dotnet/runtime#87993.

[tannergooding]

Some minor regression was expected and discussed on the PR.

Functionality was being added to support new scenarios and these aren't perf critical methods, so the implementation was kept simpler rather than increasing the code complexity to preserve all perf.

Thanks, closing this issue.
