Various parameters that control fitting of heteroskedastic binary response models
using hetglm
.
hetglm.control(method = "nlminb", maxit = 1000,
hessian = FALSE, trace = FALSE, start = NULL, …)
characters string specifying the method
argument
passed to optim
.
integer specifying the maxit
argument (maximal number
of iterations) passed to optim
.
logical. Should the numerical Hessian matrix from the optim
output
be used for estimation of the covariance matrix? Currently, this must not be
modified.
logical or integer controlling whether tracing information on
the progress of the optimization should be produced (passed to optim
).
an optional vector with starting values for all parameters (including phi).
arguments passed to optim
.
A list with the arguments specified.
All parameters in hetglm
are estimated by maximum likelihood
using optim
with control options set in hetglm.control
.
Most arguments are passed on directly to optim
, only start
controls
how optim
is called.
Starting values can be supplied via start
or estimated by
glm.fit
, using the homoskedastic model.
Covariances are derived numerically using the Hessian matrix returned by
optim
.
