          Source string (or QGrams/Counter objects) for comparison
      tar : str
          Target string (or QGrams/Counter objects) for comparison
      qval : int
          The length of each q-gram; 0 for non-q-gram version
      pval : int or float
          The :math:`p`-value of the :math:`L^p`-space
      alphabet : collection or int
          The values or size of the alphabet
