gam.control: Setting Generalized Additive Models fitting defaults
Description
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!References
