[R] Monte Carlo chisq test

[kjetil halvorsen]

Hola!

simulate.p.value=TRUE uset the patefielf algorithm (translated to C).
The reference is 

Patefield,W. M. (1981) An efficient method of generating r * c tables
with given row and column totals (algorithm AS 159). A´pplied Statistics
30, 91-97.

This reference should have been included in the help file!

As to small sample properties, I know of no references, but to do a
small-scall simulation in R should be fast.
