## usage: [pval, t, df] = t_test_regression (y, X, R [, r] [, alt])
##
## 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.
