Details

This function is intended to be a helper function for the show() method of Recur objects. To be precise, the function set the maximum number of recurrent episodes for each subject to be max(2L, as.integer(getOption("reda.Recur.maxPrint"))). By default, at most three recurrent episodes will be summarized for printing. When subjects having more than three recurrent episodes, the first getOption("reda.Recur.maxPrint") - 1 number of recurrent episodes and the last one will be summarized. One may use options() to adjust the setting. For example, the default value is equivalent to options(reda.Recur.maxPrint = 3).
