+## For a square contingency table @var{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, @var{chisq} is approximately distributed as chisquare
+## with @var{df} degrees of freedom.
+##
+## The p-value (1 minus the CDF of this distribution at @var{chisq}) is
+## returned in @var{pval}.
+##
+## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed.
