		Another Test of Association for Count Data // The Upsilon test
		assesses association among categorical variables against the
		null hypothesis of independence (Luo 2021 MS thesis; ProQuest
		Publication No. 28649813). While promoting dominant function
		patterns, it demotes non-dominant function patterns. It is
		robust to low expected count---continuity correction like
		Yates's seems unnecessary. Using a common null population
		following a uniform distribution, contingency tables are
		comparable by statistical significance---not the case for most
		association tests defining a varying null population by tensor
		product of observed marginals. Although Pearson's chi-squared
		test, Fisher's exact test, and Woolf's G-test (related to
		mutual information) are useful in some contexts, the Upsilon
		test appeals to ranking association patterns not necessarily
		following same marginal distributions, such as in count data
		from DNA and RNA sequencing---a rapidly expanding frontier in
		modern science.
