logical, if TRUE then test of Stanley and Burnham 1999 is
calculated in addition to that of Otis et al. 1978
min.expected
integer for the minimum expected count in any cell of a component 2x2 table
Value
In the case of a single-session capthist object, either a vector with
the statistic (z-value) and p-value for the test of Otis et al. (1978
p. 120) or a list whose components are data frames with the statistics
and p-values for various tests and test components as follows --

In the case of a multi-session object, a list with one component (as
above) for each session.
Details
The test of Stanley and Burnham in part uses a sum over 2x2 contingency
tables; any table with a cell whose expected count is less than
min.expected is dropped from the sum. The default value of 2 is that
used by CloseTest (Stanley and Richards 2005, T. Stanley pers. comm.;
see also Stanley and Burnham 1999 p. 203).
