I have been learning how to use these functions and would like to know the following as I have so far been unable to find the answers in the documentation. 1) What stopping rules are used ? 2) Can the stopping rules be changed? 3) Can the results of each step be stored as objects in R and if so how ? 4) Is there a worked example somewhere of using the keep= argument ?
