mxPenaltySearch: mxPenaltySearch

In OpenMx: Extended Structural Equation Modelling

mxPenaltySearch

Description

Grid search for the best MxPenalty hyperparameters. Uses omxDefaultComputePlan with penaltySearch=TRUE. Specifically, wraps mxComputeGradientDescent with mxComputePenaltySearch and passes the model to the backend.

Usage

mxPenaltySearch(
  model,
  ...,
  silent = FALSE,
  suppressWarnings = FALSE,
  unsafe = FALSE,
  checkpoint = FALSE,
  useSocket = FALSE,
  onlyFrontend = FALSE,
  beginMessage = !silent
)

Arguments

model	A MxModel object to be optimized.
...	Not used. Forces remaining arguments to be specified by name
silent	A boolean indicating whether to print status to terminal.
suppressWarnings	A boolean indicating whether to suppress warnings.
unsafe	A boolean indicating whether to ignore errors.
checkpoint	A boolean indicating whether to periodically write parameter values to a file.
useSocket	A boolean indicating whether to periodically write parameter values to a socket.
onlyFrontend	A boolean indicating whether to run only front-end model transformations.
beginMessage	A boolean indicating whether to print the number of parameters before invoking the backend.
