<var>p</var> is one of 1, 12, 20 or 28. The returned matrix is normalized,
meaning <code>Hn(:,1) == 1</code> and <code>H(1,:) == 1</code>.
<p>Some of the properties of Hadamard matrices are:
<ul>
<li><code>kron (</code><var>Hm</var><code>, </code><var>Hn</var><code>)</code> is a Hadamard matrix of size
<var>m</var>-by-<var>n</var>.
<li><code>Hn * Hn' == </code><var>n</var><code> * eye (</code><var>n</var><code>)</code>.
<li>The rows of <var>Hn</var> are orthogonal.
<li><code>det (</code><var>A</var><code>) <= abs(det (</code><var>Hn</var><code>))</code> for all <var>A</var> with
<code>abs (</code><var>A</var><code> (</code><var>i</var><code>, </code><var>j</var><code>)) <= 1</code>.
<li>Multiply any row or column by -1 and still have a Hadamard matrix.

<p>The validity of this formula can easily be checked by expanding
the binomial coefficients in both formulas as factorials. It can
be derived more directly via the theory of Cauchy matrices:
see J. W. Demmel, Applied Numerical Linear Algebra, page 92.
<p>Compare this with the numerical calculation of <code>inverse (hilb (n))</code>,
which suffers from the ill-conditioning of the Hilbert matrix, and the
finite precision of your computer's floating point arithmetic.
