check.analytical: Checking the analytical gradient of the GCV/UBRE score

Description

This function calculates the finite-difference approximation of the GCV/UBRE gradient for the fitted model and compares it with the analytical gradient.

Usage

check.analytical(object, data, del=1e-6,control)

Value

A list is returned with the following items:

dgcv.ubre.fd

The finite-difference approximation of the gradient.

check.grad

The relative difference in percentage between the analytical and finite differenced derivatives.

Arguments

object

A fitted scam object.

data

An original data frame or list containing the model response variable and covariates.

del
