geese.control {geepack}R Documentation

Auxiliary for Controlling GEE Fitting

Description

Auxiliary function as user interface for `gee' fitting. Only used when calling `geese' or `geese.fit'.

Usage

geese.control(epsilon = 1e-04, maxit = 25, trace = FALSE,
              scale.fix = FALSE, jack = FALSE, j1s = FALSE, fij = FALSE)

Arguments

epsilon positive convergence tolerance epsilon; the iterations converge when the absolute value of the difference in parameter estimate is below epsilon.
maxit integer giving the maximal number of Fisher Scoring iteration.
trace logical indicating if output should be produced for each iteration.
scale.fix logical indicating if the scale should be fixed.
jack logical indicating if approximate jackknife variance estimate should be computed.
j1s logical indicating if 1-step jackknife variance estimate should be computed.
fij logical indicating if fully iterated jackknife variance estimate should be computed.

Details

When `trace' is true, output for each iteration is printed to the screen by the c++ code. Hence, `options(digits = *)' does not control the precision.

Value

A list with the arguments as components.
