+/* This class is a child to datavector.  It represents OTU information at a certain distance. 
+       A list vector can be converted into and ordervector, rabundvector or sabundvector.
+       Each member of the internal container "data" represents an individual OTU.
+       So data[0] = "a,b,c,d,e,f".
+       example: listvector             =       a,b,c,d,e,f             g,h,i           j,k             l               m
