Get control parameters for a TEfit model

Description

TEfit internal

Usage

tef_control(
  quietErrs = F,
  suppressWarnings = F,
  nTries = 200,
  y_lim = c(-1e+07, 1e+07),
  rate_lim = c(0, 0),
  shape_lim = c(0, 0),
  expBase = 2,
  rateBase = 2,
  pFix = c(),
  penalizeMean = T,
  penalizeRate = F,
  convergeTol = 0.05,
  stepwise_asym = F,
  explicit = ""
)

Arguments

quietErrs	logical. Should errors be printed to the Console?
suppressWarnings	logical. Should warnings be printed to the Console?
nTries	Numeric. What is the maximum number of optimization runs that should be attempted?
y_lim	Numeric vector of length 2. Lower and upper bounds of permitted predicted values.
rate_lim	Numeric vector of length 2. Lower and upper bounds of permitted rate values [log time constants].
shape_lim	Numeric vector of length 2. Lower and upper bounds of permitted shape parameter values (i.e., for Weibull).
expBase	For change functions with an exponential component, what should the base of the exponent be?
rateBase	What should the base of the rate exponent be?
pFix	Named numeric vector allowing specific parameters to be fixed to a constant (i.e., not estimated)
penalizeMean	Logical. Should the time-evolving model be penalized if the mean of the time-evolving predicted values diverges from the mean of the null [non-time-evolving] predicted values?
penalizeRate	Logical. Should the time-evolving model be penalized if the rate parameter is very near a boundary?
convergeTol	Convergence is extremely roughly defined in TEfits as the SD of the same estimated parameter on different runs with relatively low error. What should this SD be?
stepwise_asym	Logical. If a function will saturate by the end of the measurement time, this option allows the asymptote to be estimated from this time period (i.e., as stationary).
explicit	Character. Rather than using any of the pre-defined change or link functions, enter the specific function you want to test.
