## Class `"IndependenceTestStatistic"` and its subclasses

### Description

Objects of class `"IndependenceTestStatistic"` and its subclasses `"MaxTypeIndependenceTestStatistic"`, `"QuadTypeIndependenceTestStatistic"` and `"ScalarIndependenceTestStatistic"` represent the test statistic, the linear statistic, and the transformed and original data structures corresponding to an independence problem.

### Objects from the Class

Class `"IndependenceTestStatistic"` is a virtual class, so objects cannot be created from it directly.

Objects can be created by calls of the form

```     new("MaxTypeIndependenceTestStatistic", object,
alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"), \dots),

new("QuadTypeIndependenceTestStatistic", object, paired = FALSE, \dots)```

and

```     new("ScalarIndependenceTestStatistic", object,
alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"), paired = FALSE, \dots)```

where `object` is an object of class `"IndependenceLinearStatistic"`, `alternative` is a character specifying the direction of the alternative hypothesis and `paired` is a logical indicating that paired data have been transformed in such a way that the (unstandardized) linear statistic is the sum of the absolute values of the positive differences between the paired observations.
