- ## usage: [pval, chisq, df] = mcnemar_test (x)
- ##
- ## For a square contingency table x of data cross-classified on the row
- ## and column variables, McNemar's test can be used for testing the null
- ## hypothesis of symmetry of the classification probabilities.
- ##
- ## Under the null, chisq is approximately distributed as chisquare with
- ## df degrees of freedom, and 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 of the test is displayed.
