if these variables have the same parameter (i.e. the chance of "success").
So assume that:
- You observed X1 to give k1 successes out of n1 trials.
- You observed X2 to give k2 successes out of n2 trials.
- This function performs a simple likelihood ratio test to determine if X1 and
X2 have the same parameter. The return value of this function will be:
- Close to 0 if they are probably the same.
- Larger than 0 if X1 probably has a higher "success" rate than X2.
- Smaller than 0 if X2 probably has a higher "success" rate than X1.
Moreover, the larger the absolute magnitude of the return value the more
likely it is that X1 and X2 have different distributions.

coincidence." Computational linguistics 19.1 (1993): 61-74.

requires

- AB_count <= B_count <= total_num_observations

ensures
- This function does a statistical test to determine if two events co-occur in
a statistically significant way. In particular, we assume you performed
total_num_observations measurements and during those measurements you:
- Observed event A to happen A_count times.
- Observed event B to happen B_count times.
- Observed AB_count co-occurrences of the events. That is, AB_count is the
number of times the events happened together during the same measurement.
- This function returns a number, COR, which can take any real value. It has
the following interpretations:
- COR == 0: there is no evidence of correlation between the two events.
They appear to be unrelated.
- COR > 0: There is evidence that A and B co-occur together. That is,
they happen at the same times more often than you would expect if they
were independent events. The larger the magnitude of COR the more
evidence we have for the correlation.
- COR < 0: There is evidence that A and B are anti-correlated. That is,
when A happens B is unlikely to happen and vice versa. The larger the
magnitude of COR the more evidence we have for the anti-correlation.
- This function implements the simple likelihood ratio test discussed in the
following paper:
Dunning, Ted. "Accurate methods for the statistics of surprise and
coincidence." Computational linguistics 19.1 (1993): 61-74.
So for an extended discussion of the method see the above paper.

WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
This object represents something that can learn to normalize a set
of column vectors. In particular, normalized column vectors should
have zero mean and a variance of one.
Also, this object uses principal component analysis for the purposes
of reducing the number of elements in a vector.
THREAD SAFETY
Note that this object contains a cached matrix object it uses
to store intermediate results for normalization. This avoids
needing to reallocate it every time this object performs normalization
but also makes it non-thread safe. So make sure you don't share
instances of this object between threads.

smaller values of eps result in #out_vector_size() being smaller.
