## usage: [pval, k, df] = kruskal_wallis_test (x1, ...)
##
## Perform a Kruskal-Wallis one-factor "analysis of variance".
##
## Suppose a variable is observed for k > 1 different groups, and let
## x1, ..., xk be the corresponding data vectors.
##
## Under the null hypothesis that the ranks in the pooled sample are not
## affected by the group memberships, the test statistic k is
## approximately chi-square with df = k - 1 degrees of freedom. pval is
## the p-value (1 minus the CDF of this distribution at k) of this test.
##
## If no output argument is given, the pval is displayed.
