lmerControl {lme4} | R Documentation |
The values supplied in the function call replace the defaults and a
list with all possible arguments is returned. The returned list is
used as the control
argument in the lme
function.
lmerControl(maxIter, msMaxIter, niterEM, msTol, msVerbose, PQLmaxIt, EMverbose, analyticGradient, analyticHessian)
maxIter |
maximum number of iterations for the lme
optimization algorithm. Default is 50. |
msMaxIter |
maximum number of iterations
for the nlm optimization step inside the lme
optimization. Default is 50. |
niterEM |
number of iterations for the EM algorithm used to refine the initial estimates of the random effects variance-covariance coefficients. Default is 25. |
msTol |
tolerance for the convergence criterion in nlm ,
passed as the rel.tolerance argument to the function (see
documentation on nlm ). Default is 1e-7. |
msVerbose |
a logical value passed as the trace argument to
nlm (see documentation on that function). Default is
getOption("verbose") . |
PQLmaxIt |
maximum number of iterations for the PQL algorithm in
GLMM . |
EMverbose |
a logical value indicating if verbose output should be
produced during the EM iterations. Default is getOption("verbose" . |
analyticGradient |
a logical value indicating if the analytic
gradient of the objective should be used. This option is for testing
purposes and would not normally be changed from the default. Default
is TRUE . |
analyticHessian |
a logical value indicating if the analytic
hessian of the objective should be calculated. This is an
experimental feature and at present the default is FALSE . In
future we may use the analytic Hessian in the optimization. |
