The Chi-Square probe is a statistical hypothesis test. The here presented values show the distribution of several hash algorithms compared to the cryptographic SHA1. Currently I am too lazy to explain the algorithm in great detail. Wikipedia is a great source for an introduction.

The analysis is part of libhashish and available in the analysis directory.
