- ##
- ## Perform a chi-square test for indepence based on the contingency
- ## table X.
- ##
- ## Under the null hypothesis of independence, chisq approximately has 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.
