    Basic Usage
    ===========
    Arguments:
    * ciphertext (str): the text to decode (encoded with the caesar cipher)

    Optional Arguments:
    * cipher_alphabet (list): the alphabet used for the cipher (each letter is
      a string separated by commas)
    * frequencies_dict (dict): a dictionary of word frequencies where keys are
      the letters and values are a percentage representation of the frequency as
      a decimal/float
    * case_sensetive (bool): a boolean value: True if the case matters during
      decryption, False if it doesn't

    Returns:
    * A tuple in the form of:
      (
        most_likely_cipher,
        most_likely_cipher_chi_squared_value,
        decoded_most_likely_cipher
      )

      where...
      - most_likely_cipher is an integer representing the shift of the smallest
        chi-squared statistic (most likely key)
      - most_likely_cipher_chi_squared_value is a float representing the
        chi-squared statistic of the most likely shift
      - decoded_most_likely_cipher is a string with the decoded cipher
        (decoded by the most_likely_cipher key)


    The Chi-squared test
    ====================

    The caesar cipher
    -----------------
    The caesar cipher is a very insecure encryption algorithm, however it has
    been used since Julius Caesar. The cipher is a simple substitution cipher
    where each character in the plain text is replaced by a character in the
    alphabet a certain number of characters after the original character. The
    number of characters away is called the shift or key. For example:

    Plain text: hello
    Key: 1
    Cipher text: ifmmp
    (each letter in hello has been shifted one to the right in the eng. alphabet)

    As you can imagine, this doesn't provide lots of security. In fact
    decrypting ciphertext by brute-force is extremely easy even by hand. However
     one way to do that is the chi-squared test.

    The chi-squared test
    -------------------
    Each letter in the english alphabet has a frequency, or the amount of times
    it shows up compared to other letters (usually expressed as a decimal
    representing the percentage likelihood). The most common letter in the
    english language is "e" with a frequency of 0.11162 or 11.162%. The test is
    completed in the following fashion.

    1. The ciphertext is decoded in a brute force way (every combination of the
       26 possible combinations)
    2. For every combination, for each letter in the combination, the average
       amount of times the letter should appear the message is calculated by
       multiplying the total number of characters by the frequency of the letter

       For example:
       In a message of 100 characters, e should appear around 11.162 times.

     3. Then, to calculate the margin of error (the amount of times the letter
        SHOULD appear with the amount of times the letter DOES appear), we use
        the chi-squared test. The following formula is used:

        Let:
        - n be the number of times the letter actually appears
        - p be the predicted value of the number of times the letter should
          appear (see #2)
        - let v be the chi-squared test result (referred to here as chi-squared
          value/statistic)

        (n - p)^2
        --------- = v
           p

    4. Each chi squared value for each letter is then added up to the total.
       The total is the chi-squared statistic for that encryption key.
    5. The encryption key with the lowest chi-squared value is the most likely
       to be the decoded answer.
