The A() function calculates the A statistic, a nonparametric
measure of effect size for two independent groups that’s also known as
the probability of superiority (Ruscio, 2008), along with its standard
error and a confidence interval constructed using bootstrap methods
(Ruscio & Mullen, 2012). Additional functions are provided to calculate
variants of the A statistic developed for other research designs (e.g.,
related samples, more than two independent groups or related samples;
Ruscio & Gera, 2013).

Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in
an efficient yet extensible format. Google uses Protocol
Buffers for almost all of its internal RPC protocols and file
formats.
