geese.control: Auxiliary for Controlling GEE Fitting

Description

Auxiliary function as user interface for gee' fitting. Only used when calling geese' or `geese.fit'.

Usage

geese.control(
  epsilon = 1e-04,
  maxit = 25,
  trace = FALSE,
  scale.fix = FALSE,
  jack = FALSE,
  j1s = FALSE,
  fij = FALSE
)

Value

A list with the arguments as components.

Arguments

epsilon

positive convergence tolerance epsilon; the iterations converge when the absolute value of the difference in parameter estimate is below epsilon.

maxit

integer giving the maximal number of Fisher Scoring iteration.

trace

logical indicating if output should be produced for each iteration.

scale.fix

logical indicating if the scale should be fixed.

jack

logical indicating if approximate jackknife variance estimate should be computed.

j1s

logical indicating if 1-step jackknife variance estimate should be computed.

fij

logical indicating if fully iterated jackknife variance estimate should be computed.

Details

When trace' is true, output for each iteration is printed to the screen by the c++ code. Hence, options(digits = *)' does not control the precision.
