- ##
- ## Performs an t test for the null hypothesis R * b = r in a classical
- ## normal regression model y = X * b + e.
- ## Under the null, the test statistic t follows a t distribution with
- ## df degrees of freedom.
- ##
- ## r is taken as 0 if not given explicitly.
- ##
- ## With the optional argument string alt, the alternative of interest
- ## can be selected.
- ## If alt is "!=" or "<>", the null is tested against the two-sided
- ## alternative R * b != r.
- ## If alt is ">", the one-sided alternative R * b > r is used,
- ## similarly for "<".
- ## The default is the two-sided case.
- ##
- ## pval is the p-value of the test.
- ##
- ## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed.
