Validates the options controlling the running of the code apollo_control and sets default values for the omitted ones.
apollo_validateControl(database, apollo_control, silent = FALSE)Validated version of apollo_control, with additional element called panelData set to TRUE for repeated choice data.
data.frame. Data used by model.
List. Options controlling the running of the code. User input is required for all settings except those with a default or marked as optional.
calculateLLC: Boolean. TRUE if user wants to calculate LL at constants (if applicable). - TRUE by default.
HB: Boolean. TRUE if using RSGHB for Bayesian estimation of model.
indivID: Character. Name of column in the database with each decision maker's ID.
memorySaver: Boolean. TRUE to reduce memory usage when calculating analytical gradients and hessian - FALSE by default.
mixing: Boolean. TRUE for models that include random parameters.
modelDescr: Character. Description of the model. Used in output files.
modelName: Character. Name of the model. Used when saving the output to files.
nCores: Numeric>0. Number of cores to use in calculations of the model likelihood.
noDiagnostics: Boolean. TRUE if user does not wish model diagnostics to be printed - FALSE by default.
noValidation: Boolean. TRUE if user does not wish model input to be validated before estimation - FALSE by default.
outputDirectory: Character. Optional directory for outputs if different from working director - empty by default
panelData: Boolean. TRUE if there are multiple observations (i.e. rows) for each decision maker - Automatically set based on indivID by default.
seed: Numeric. Seed for random number generation.
weights: Character. Name of column in database containing weights for estimation.
workInLogs: Boolean. TRUE for increased numeric precision in models with panel data - FALSE by default.
Boolean. If TRUE, no messages are printed to screen.
This function should be run before running apollo_validateData.
