\title{Classes "parentChild" and "pC"}
\description{Classes that extend the "classicCount" class by adding 
  support for the parent-child test.}

\section{Objects from the Class}{
  Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("parentChild", testStatistic, name, groupMembers, parents, sigMembers, joinFun, ...)}.
}

\section{Slots}{
	 \describe{
    \item{\code{splitIndex}:}{Object of class \code{"integer"} ~~ }

\section{Extends}{
Class \code{"\linkS4class{classicCount}"}, directly.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{groupStats}"}, by class "classicCount", distance 2.
