  Added:       math/src/java/org/apache/commons/math/stat/inference
                        ChiSquareTest.java ChiSquareTestImpl.java
  Log:
  Initial commit of code split off from TestStatistic. Changed observed vectors to be long[] arrays and added support for independence tests using 2-way tables.
