Usage

weightcast(x, out.file = NULL, out.object = NULL, center.diags = T,
  scale.diags = T, options = list())

Arguments

x	Object of class "gridcast" or a list of "gridcast" objects.
out.file	Character. Gives full filename (and path) of where to save selected weight combinations (if requested). Default: NULL.
out.object	Character. Gives name of object in parent.frame() to which to assign selected weight combinations (if requested). Default: NULL.
center.diags	Logical. If TRUE, each of the four diagnostic variables is centered (de-meaned). Default: TRUE.

options	Options passed to options argument of ShinyApp.

NULL.

Examples

## Not run: 
data(netherlands)
ff <- log(brst3/popu3) ~ log(hc) + log(gdp) + log(tobacco3) + log(fat) + time
out <- gridcast(netherlands_data, formula=ff, model="map",
                           sample.frame=c(1950,2000,2001,2030), verbose=FALSE)
weightcast(out)

weightcast(out, options=list(port=8888, launch.browser = F))

## End(Not run)
