## usage: [pval, chisq, df] = bartlett_test (x1, ...)
##
## Performs a Bartlett test for the homogeneity of variances in the data
## vectors x1, x2, ..., xk, where k > 1.
##
## Under the null of equal variances, the test statistic chisq
## approximately ollows a chi-square distribution with df degrees of
## freedom; pval is the p-value (1 minus the CDF of this distribution at
## chisq) of the test.
##
## If no output argument is given, the p-value is displayed.
