maximum number of iterations. The default is 2000.
tolerance
the relative tolerance in the iterative algorithm.
fix.shape
whether the shape parameters should be kept fixed in the fitting
processes. The default is fix.shape = FALSE. Currently, only is available for
the Student-t and slash distributions.
ndraws
independent draws for Monte Carlo integration. The default is 500.
algorithm
character string specifying the algorithm to use. The default
algorithm is an EM algorithm. Other possible value is "NEM" for the nested EM algorithm.
ncycles
number of cycles used in the nested EM algorithm, not used if algorithm="EM".
The default is 5.
Value
A list of control arguments to be used in a call to the fitter (i.e., heavyFit, heavyLm,
heavyLme or heavyPS functions).
A call to heavy.control can be used directly in the control argument of the call to the fitter.
# NOT RUN {ctrl <- heavy.control(maxIter = 200, tol = 1e-04, ndraws = 9000)
data(dental)
heavyLme(distance ~ age * Sex, random = ~ age, groups = ~ Subject,
data = dental, control = ctrl)
# }
