public final class SloppyMath
extends java.lang.Object
```
The class SloppyMath contains methods for performing basic numeric operations. In some cases, such as max and min, they cut a few corners in the implementation for the sake of efficiency. In particular, they may not handle special notions like NaN and -0.0 correctly. This was the origin of the class name, but some other operations are just useful math additions, such as logSum.

                                    int m)
```
    Find a hypergeometric distribution. This uses exact math, trying fairly hard to avoid numeric overflow by interleaving multiplications and divisions. (To do: make it even better at avoiding overflow, by using loops that will do either a multiple or divide based on the size of the intermediate result.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    k - The number of black balls drawn
    
    n - The total number of balls
    
    r - The number of black balls
    
    m - The number of balls drawn

    The hypergeometric value

```
    Find a one tailed exact binomial test probability. Finds the chance of this or a higher result
    
    Parameters:
    
    k - number of successes
    
    n - Number of trials
    
    p - Probability of a success
  - oneTailedFishersExact
```

                                           int m)
```
    Find a one-tailed Fisher's exact probability. Chance of having seen this or a more extreme departure from what you would have expected given independence. I.e., k >= the value passed in. Warning: this was done just for collocations, where you are concerned with the case of k being larger than predicted. It doesn't correctly handle other cases, such as k being smaller than expected.
    
    Parameters:
    
    k - The number of black balls drawn
    
    n - The total number of balls
    
    r - The number of black balls
    
    m - The number of balls drawn

                                   int m)

    Find a 2x2 chi-square value. Note: could do this more neatly using simplified formula for 2x2 case.

    k - The number of black balls drawn
