    Description copied from interface: Dependence
    
    Measure the dependence of two variables.
    This is the more flexible API, which allows using different internal data representations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    dependence in interface Dependence
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    A - First array type
    
    B - Second array type
    
    Parameters:
    
    adapter1 - First data adapter
    
    data1 - First data set
    
    adapter2 - Second data adapter
    
    data2 - Second data set
    
    Returns:
    
    Dependence measure
