## usage:  [pval, chisq, df] = chisquare_test_independence (X)
##
## 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.
