No, not yet.  But you can have MIN and MAX from the data, almost as good.
If you are setting upper-limit or lower-limit, you could have a CDEF doing
some maths (if max(data) > upper_limit then use max(data) else upper-limit).

Doing more complex calculations is not yet possible in VDEFs so you will
need to use a CDEF for that.  If you do not want data from a DEF in your
CDEF, use POP to get rid of it.
