blackbox (version 1.0)

options: blackbox options settings

Description

Allow the user to examine a variety of options (most of which are not true user options) which affect operations of the blackbox package.

Usage

blackbox.options(...)

blackbox.getOption(x)

Arguments

x

a character string holding an option name.

...

A named value or a list of named values. Most are not to be manipulated by users and are undocumented. Exceptions are: [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Value

• For blackbox.getOption, the current value set for option x, or NULL if the option is unset. For blackbox.options(), a list of all set options sorted by category. For blackbox.options(name), a list of length one containing the set value, or NULL if it is unset. For uses setting one or more options, a list with the previous values of the options changed (returned invisibly).

Details

Invoking blackbox.options() with no arguments returns a list with the current values of the options. Invoking blackbox.getOption() returns the value of the option rather than a list. blackbox.options() provides an interface for changing many undocumented options. The package is designed to infer likelihood surfaces by smoothing estimated likelihood points in a model with some canonical parameters (ParameterNames). A transformed parameter space may be considered for smoothing, wherein some parameters are variable (fittedNames) and others may be constant. The transformed parameter space including constant parameters has names FONKgNames (FON for Fitted Or Not).

Examples

blackbox.getOption("verbosity")
  blackbox.options(verbosity=1)
  blackbox.options()
