mbrglm.control function

Auxiliary for Controlling MBRGLM Fitting

Auxiliary function as user interface for mbrglm

fitting. Typically only used when calling mbrglm or mbrglm.fit.

mbrglm.control(mbr.epsilon = 1e-06, mbr.maxit = 500, 
  mbr.trace = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

• mbr.epsilon: positive convergence tolerance for the iteration described in mbrglm.fit.
• mbr.maxit: integer giving the maximum number of iterations for the iteration in mbrglm.fit.
• mbr.trace: logical indicating if output should be produced for each iteration.
• ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

The control argument of mbrglmis by default passed to the control argument of mbrglm.fit, which uses its elements as arguments to glm.control: the latter provides defaults.

If mbr.trace=TRUE, calls to cat produce the iteration number, the parameter estimates and the current value of the modified scores for each iteration.

Returns

A list with the arguments as components.
