R: Auxiliary for Controlling GEE Fitting

geese.control

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.
