Hmm. I don't know of general updating algorithms (there may be some,
though!). For, e.g., a Bernoulli and Binomial distribution stuff seems
to be easy, but for some other distributions things become complex, so
it might be worthwhile to specify the class of distributions you are
going to estimate in ...
