#' Control For The GEE Solver
#'
#' Control variables for the GEE solver in the \link{nomLORgee} and
#' \link{ordLORgee} functions.
#'
#'
#' @param tolerance positive convergence tolerance. The algorithm converges
#' when the maximum of the absolute relative difference in parameter estimates
#' is less than or equal to \code{tolerance}.
#' @param maxiter positive integer that indicates the maximum number of
#' iterations in the Fisher-scoring iterative algorithm.
#' @param verbose logical that indicates if output should be printed at each
#' iteration.
#' @param TRACE logical that indicates if the parameter estimates and the
#' convergence criterion at each iteration should be saved.
