Description: Computes the t* statistic corresponding to the tau*
        population coefficient introduced by Bergsma and Dassios (2014)
        <DOI:10.3150/13-BEJ514> and does so in O(n^2) time following
        the algorithm of Heller and Heller (2016)
        <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.1605.08732> building off of the work of
        Weihs, Drton, and Leung (2016) <DOI:10.1007/s00180-015-0639-x>.
        Also allows for independence testing using the asymptotic
        distribution of t* as described by Nandy, Weihs, and Drton
        (2016) <DOI:10.1214/16-EJS1166>.
