## usage: [pval, chisq, df] = chisquare_test_homogeneity (x, y, c)
##
## Given two samples x and y, perform a chisquare test for homogeneity
## of the null hypothesis that x and y come from the same distribution,
## based on the partition induced by the (strictly increasing) entries
## of c.
##
## For large samples, the test statistic chisq approximately follows a
## chisquare distribution with df = length(c) degrees pf 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.
