Auxiliary for controling icfit
A function to create a list of arguments for icfit.
icfitControl(epsilon = 1e-06, maxit = 10000, initfitOpts=NULL, conf.level=.95, B=200,
confMethod="modboot",seed=19439101, timeEpsilon=1e-06, timeMessage=TRUE)epsilon |
The minimum error for convergence purposes. The EM algorithm stops when error < epsilon, where error is the maximum of the reduced gradients (see Gentleman and Geyer, 1994) |
maxit |
maximum number of iterations of the EM algorithm |
initfitOpts |
named list of options for initfit function if initfit is function name |
conf.level |
level for confidence interval, used if conf.int=TRUE |
B |
number of bootstrap replications for conf.int=TRUE, must be at least 11 |
confMethod |
method for confidence intervals, must be "modboot" |
seed |
random seed for bootstrap, if NULL no call to set.seed |
timeEpsilon |
small number for adding or subtracting from time for drawing confidence interval lines |
timeMessage |
logical, print estimate of how long modified bootstrap confidence intervals will take to calculate? |
There is only one option for the confMethod now. The confMethod argument is only needed for future versions if there is another confidence interval method option.
For a description of the modified bootstrap method see icfit.
An list with the arguments as components.
