#' Auxiliary for controlling PCLM fitting
#'
#' @description
#' Auxiliary function for controlling PCLM fitting. Use this function to set control
#' parameters of the \code{\link{pclm.fit}} and other related functions.
#'
#' @param x.div Number of sub-classes within PCLM tim/age class (default is 1).
#' Low value of the parameter makes the PCLM computation faster. It is however recommended to set
#' it to higher value (e.g. 10) for better \code{nax} estimates.
#' @param x.auto.trans Logical indicating if automatically multiple age intervals to remove fractions.
#' \code{TRUE} is the recommended value. See also examples in \code{\link{pclm.fit}}.
#' @param x.max.ext Integer defining maximal multiple of an age interval. See also \code{\link{pclm.interval.multiple}}.
#' @param zero.class.add Logical indicating if additional zero count class (open interval)
#' should be added after last age class. \code{TRUE} is the recommended value. See \code{\link{pclm.nclasses}} and \code{\link{pclm.compmat}}.
#' @param zero.class.end Positive indicating the end of zero count class = anticipated end of
#' last (open) interval. If set to \code{NULL} and \code{zero.class.add == TRUE} then it is calculated
#' automatically based on \code{zero.class.frac}. See \code{\link{pclm.nclasses}} and \code{\link{pclm.compmat}}.
#' @param zero.class.frac Fraction of total range of \code{x} (age/time vector) added as the last zero-count interval
#' when \code{zero.class.end == NULL}. Used in \code{\link{pclm.compmat}}. Increase this value if the right tail
#' of the PCLM fit is badly fitted (use \code{\link{plot.pclm}} to diagnose).
#' @param bs.use Logical indicating if use B- or P-spline basis to speed-up computations.
#' Possible values: \code{"auto"}, \code{TRUE}, and \code{FALSE}. Used by \code{\link{pclm.compmat}} function.
#' @param bs.method Basis for B- or P-spline used by \code{\link{pclm.compmat}} function.
#' Possible values:
#' \itemize{
#' \item{\code{"MortalitySmooth"}}{ - gives "P-splines" basis based on \code{\link{MortSmooth_bbase}}
#' \code{\{\link{MortalitySmooth}\}} (recommended)}
#' \item{\code{"bs"}}{ - gives basic B-splines basis based on \code{\link{bs}} \code{\{\link{splines}\}}.}
#' }
#' @param bs.df B- or P- spline degree of freedom (df, number of inner knots)
#' or a way to its calculation used in \code{\link{pclm.compmat}} function.
#' The value is automatically limited by the \code{bs.df.max}.
#' It can take corresponding values:
#' \itemize{
#' \item{\code{"maxprec"}}{ - df equal to the number of ungrouped (raw) age classes (recommended option).}
#' \item{\code{"thumb"}}{ - 'rule of thumb': one knot for the B-spline basis each 4-5 observations.}
#' \item{\code{integer}}{ - df given explicitly.}
#' }
#' @param bs.df.max Maximal number of knots (df) for B- or P-spline basis.
#' Defaut value is 200, but can be decreased if computations are slow.
#' Used in \code{\link{pclm.compmat}}.
#' @param bs.deg Degree of the piecewise polynomial for B- or P-spline basis.
#' Default and recommended value is 3. Used in \code{\link{pclm.compmat}}.
#' @param opt.method Selection criterion for \code{lambda} (smooth parameter) in
#' \code{\link{pclm.opt}} function. Possible values are \code{"AIC"} and \code{"BIC"} (recommended).
#' @param opt.tol Tolerance for \code{\link{pclm.opt}} function that estimates smooth
#' parameter \code{lambda}.
#' @param pclm.deg Order of differences of the components of \code{b} (PCLM coeficients, beta in the reference [1]).
#' Default value is 2, some other values may cause algorithm to not
#' work properly. Used by \code{\link{pclm.core}} function.
#' @param pclm.max.iter Maximal number of iterations in \code{\link{pclm.core}}
#' function. Default is 100, but increase it when got a warning.
#' @param pclm.lsfit.tol Tolerance for \code{\link{lsfit}} function used
#' in \code{\link{pclm.core}} function.
#' @param pclm.tol Tolerance for \code{\link{pclm.core}} function.
#' @return List with control parameters.

#' @param count.type Type of the data, deaths(\code{"DX"})(default) or exposures(\code{"LX"}.)

#' Penalized Composite Linear Model (PCLM) for PASH object.
#'
#' @description
#' The PCLM method is based on the composite link model, with
#' a penalty added to ensure the smoothness of the target distribution.
#' Estimates are obtained by maximizing a
#' penalized likelihood. This maximization is performed efficiently by a version
#' of the iteratively reweighted least-squares
#' algorithm. Optimal values of the smoothing parameter are chosen by minimizing
#' Bayesian or Akaike’ s Information Criterion
#' [From Rizzi et al. 2015 abstract].
#' @param object A \code{pash} object.
#' @param out.step Age interval length in output aggregated life-table. If set to \code{"auto"}
#'  then the parameter is automatically set to the length of the shortest age/time interval of pash life-table.
#' @param population.size Population size. If it is not given then it will be retrieved from the
#' pash object (if possible). You may want to set it to a high value (e.g. 10000) if the data has no information about population number.
#' @param to.pash A way how the \code{pash} life-table is constructed:
#' \itemize{
#' \item{\code{"aggregated"} - The \code{pash} life-table is constructed from aggregated PCLM fit with interval length of \code{out.step}}.
#' \item{\code{"nonaggregated"} - The \code{pash} life-table is constructed from nonaggregated (raw) PCLM fit with interval of length equal to the shortest original
#' interval length divided by \code{x.div}. See \code{\link{pclm.control}}}.
#' }
#' @param nax.method A way of calculating nax in \code{\link{Inputlx}} if \code{to.pash == "nonaggregated"}.
#' Possible values: \code{"udd"} (see \code{\link{naxUDD}}) or \code{"cfm"} (see \code{\link{naxCFMfromnmx}}).
#' @param last_open Logical determining if to construct \code{pash} life-table with last open interval. See \code{\link{Inputlx}}.
#' @param control List with additional parameters. See \code{\link{pclm.control}}.
#' @return An object of classes \code{"pclm"} and \code{"pash"} with PCLM-based life-table and \code{$pclm} component.
#' The function updates a \code{pash} object by fitting PCLM. \cr
#' The new object inherits \code{source} and \code{time_unit} attributes from the original \code{pash} object as well as class \code{"pash"}.
#' The pash life-table (component \code{$lt}) contains the life-table based on the fitted PCLM (aggregated or nonaggregated depending on \code{to.pash} parameter).
#' The newly constructed \code{pash} object contains extra \code{$pclm} component needed to run \code{\link{summary}} and \code{\link{plot}} functions.
#' \cr\cr List of \code{$pclm} sub-components:
#' @return \item{\code{grouped}}{Life-table based on aggregated PCLM fit defined by \code{out.step}.}
#' @return \item{\code{raw}}{Life-table based on original (raw) PCLMfit.}
#' @return \item{\code{fit}}{PCLM fit used to construct life-tables.}

#' @return \item{\code{out.step}}{Interval length of aggregated life-table, see \code{\link{pclm.control}}.}
#' @details
#' The function read \code{pash} object and run \code{\link{pclm.general}} function. The new \code{pash} object is constructed from \code{\link{pclm.general}} output.
