public class GTest
extends Object
```
Implements G Test statistics.
This is known in statistical genetics as the McDonald-Kreitman test. The implementation handles both known and unknown distributions.
Two samples tests can be used when the distribution is unknown a priori but provided by one sample, or when the hypothesis under test is that the two samples come from the same underlying distribution.

public double g(double[] expected,
                long[] observed)
         throws MathIllegalArgumentException
```
    Computes the G statistic for Goodness of Fit comparing observed and expected frequency counts.
    This statistic can be used to perform a G test (Log-Likelihood Ratio Test) evaluating the null hypothesis that the observed counts follow the expected distribution.
    Preconditions:
    
    Expected counts must all be positive.
    
    Observed counts must all be ≥ 0.
    
    The observed and expected arrays must have the same length and their common length must be at least 2.
    
    If any of the preconditions are not met, a MathIllegalArgumentException is thrown.
    Note:This implementation rescales the expected array if necessary to ensure that the sum of the expected and observed counts are equal.
    Parameters:
    
    observed - array of observed frequency counts
    
    expected - array of expected frequency counts
    
    Returns:
    
    G-Test statistic

```
public double gDataSetsComparison(long[] observed1,

                           throws MathIllegalArgumentException
```
    Computes a G (Log-Likelihood Ratio) two sample test statistic for independence comparing frequency counts in observed1 and observed2. The sums of frequency counts in the two samples are not required to be the same. The formula used to compute the test statistic is
    
    2 * totalSum * [H(rowSums) + H(colSums) - H(k)]
    
    where H is the Shannon Entropy of the random variable formed by viewing the elements of the argument array as incidence counts;
    k is a matrix with rows [observed1, observed2];
    rowSums, colSums are the row/col sums of k;
    and totalSum is the overall sum of all entries in k.
    
    This statistic can be used to perform a G test evaluating the null hypothesis that both observed counts are independent
    
    Preconditions:
    
    Observed counts must be non-negative.
    
    Observed counts for a specific bin must not both be zero.
    
    Observed counts for a specific sample must not all be 0.
    
    The arrays observed1 and observed2 must have the same length and their common length must be at least 2.
    
    If any of the preconditions are not met, a MathIllegalArgumentException is thrown.
    Parameters:
    
    observed1 - array of observed frequency counts of the first data set
    
    observed2 - array of observed frequency counts of the second data set
    
    Returns:
    
    G-Test statistic
    
    Throws:
    
    MathIllegalArgumentException - the the lengths of the arrays do not match or their common length is less than 2
    
    MathIllegalArgumentException - if any entry in observed1 or observed2 is negative
    
    MathIllegalArgumentException - if either all counts of observed1 or observed2 are zero, or if the count at the same index is zero for both arrays.
  - rootLogLikelihoodRatio
```
public double rootLogLikelihoodRatio(long k11,
                                     long k12,
                                     long k21,
                                     long k22)
```
    Calculates the root log-likelihood ratio for 2 state Datasets. See gDataSetsComparison(long[], long[] ).
    Given two events A and B, let k11 be the number of times both events occur, k12 the incidence of B without A, k21 the count of A without B, and k22 the number of times neither A nor B occurs. What is returned by this method is
    
    (sgn) sqrt(gValueDataSetsComparison({k11, k12}, {k21, k22})
    
    where sgn is -1 if k11 / (k11 + k12) < k21 / (k21 + k22));
    1 otherwise.
    
    Signed root LLR has two advantages over the basic LLR: a) it is positive where k11 is bigger than expected, negative where it is lower b) if there is no difference it is asymptotically normally distributed. This allows one to talk about "number of standard deviations" which is a more common frame of reference than the chi^2 distribution.
    
    Parameters:
    
    k11 - number of times the two events occurred together (AB)
    
    k12 - number of times the second event occurred WITHOUT the first event (notA,B)
    
    k21 - number of times the first event occurred WITHOUT the second event (A, notB)
    
    k22 - number of times something else occurred (i.e. was neither of these events (notA, notB)
    
    Returns:
    
    root log-likelihood ratio
