% [pval, med, P] = circ_cmtest(alpha, idx)
% [pval, med, P] = circ_cmtest(alpha1, alpha2)
%   Non parametric multi-sample test for equal medians. Similar to a
%   Kruskal-Wallis test for linear data.
%
%   H0: the s populations have equal medians
%   HA: the s populations have unequal medians
%
%   Input:
%     alpha   angles in radians
%     idx     indicates which population the respective angle in alpha
%             comes from, 1:s
%
%   Output:
%     pval    p-value of the common median multi-sample test. Discard H0 if
%             pval is small.
%     med     best estimate of shared population median if H0 is not
%             discarded at the 0.05 level and NaN otherwise.
%     P       test statistic of the common median test.
