In epiparameter: Classes and Helper Functions for Working with Epidemiological Parameters

Check whether the optimisation of distribution parameters has converged to stable value for the parameters and function output for multiple iterations

Description

This function is to try and prevent optimisation to a local optimum and thus checks whether multiple optimisation routines are consistently finding parameter values to within a set tolerance.

Usage

.check_optim_conv(optim_params_list, optim_params, tolerance)

Arguments

optim_params_list	A list, where each element is the output of stats::optim(). See ?optim for more details.
optim_params	A list given by the output of stats::optim().
tolerance	A numeric specifying within which disparity convergence of parameter estimates and function minimisation is accepted.

Value

Boolean
