Creates the renewal control list — renewal.control • Countr

Creates the renewal control list used by renewal.

renewal.control(
  method = "nlminb",
  maxit = 1000,
  trace = 1,
  start = NULL,
  kkt = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

method: character, one or more of the optimization methods accepted by optimx. User can experiment with different algorithms and the results associated with the best performing one will be retained.
maxit: numeric, the maximum number of iterations in the optimization routine.
trace: Non-negative integer. Should tracing information be printed to the screen.
start: (named) numeric, vector of starting values.
kkt: locical should the Kuhn, Karush, Tucker optimality conditions be tested? Default is FALSE to avoid numerical hessian computation.
...: TODO

Value

a list with the control parameters used by renewal

Details

The function takes the user passed inputs, checks them (todo: actually, it doesn't!) and returns an appropriate list that is used inside renewal by the optimization routine, such as optimx among others.
