title: 'chiplot: Chi-Plots for Assessing Bivariate and Multivariate Dependence'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Graphical methods for assessing dependence. The chi-plot of Fisher and Switzer
  (1985) <https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/72.2.253> and (2001) <https://doi.org/10.1198/000313001317098248>
  supplements a scatterplot of two variables, producing characteristic patterns for
  different forms of association. Its multivariate extension (Fisher and Lee, 2026)
  uses generalized orthants and data depth to explore whether a multivariate distribution
  factorizes into independent blocks of variables, with permutation tests and guidelines.
  Functions are provided for single chi-plots, a scatterplot matrix with chi-plots
  above the diagonal, multivariate chi-plots for a given partition of the variables,
  and a search over all partitions. Computation-intensive parts are written in C.
