wilmoth_control: Auxiliary for Controlling 'wilmoth' Fitting.

In mpascariu/LinearLink: Indirect Estimation Methods for Measurement of Demographic Indicators

Description

Auxiliary for Controlling wilmoth Fitting.

Usage

wilmoth_control(
  c = 6,
  intercept = TRUE,
  tol.biweight = 1e-06,
  tol.lsfit = 1e-07,
  radix = 1e+05,
  k.int = c(-25, 20),
  nu = 1,
  nv = 1
)

Arguments

c	Tuning constant when compute weighted least squared using Tukey's biweight function. Typically, between 6 to 9.
intercept	logical. Whether or not an intercept term should be used in least squares estimation. See lsfit.
tol.biweight	Tolerance for convergence of the biweight fit
tol.lsfit	Tolerance to be used in the matrix decomposition in least squares estimation. See lsfit.
radix	Life table radix. Default: 10^5;
k.int	a vector containing the end-points of the interval to be searched for k parameter.
nu	The number of left singular vectors to be computed in SVD method. This must between 0 and n = nrow(x). See svd.
nv	the number of right singular vectors to be computed. This must be between 0 and p = ncol(x). See svd.

Value

List with control parameters.
