gam.control

Setting Generalized Additive Models fitting defaults

This is an internal function of package mgcv. It is a modification of the function glm.control. It enables the user to set defaults for convergence tolerance and maximum number of iterations when using gam. See glm.control for more information.

WARNING

The code does not check for rank defficiency of the model matrix - it will likely just fail instead!
