gam.control

This is an internal function of package <code>mgcv</code>. It is a modification
  of the function <code>glm.control</code>. It enables the user to set defaults for convergence 
  tolerance and maximum number of iterations when using
  <code>gam</code>. Argument <code>mgcv.tol</code> controls the tolerence used to judge
  multiple smoothing parameter convergence (default 1e-6). <code>mgcv.max.half</code> is the
  maximum number of times to halve the step length in a Newton update of the
  smoothing parameters if the step is failing to decrease the GCV
  score (default 15). See <code><a href="/link/glm.control?package=mgcv&version=0.6-1" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="mgcv::glm.control">glm.control</a></code> 
  for more information on other arguments.
