Control parameters for REM package

Description

Control parameters for REM package

Usage

controlREM(
  steps = 25,
  tol = 1e-06,
  maxiter = 1000,
  min_weights = 1e-30,
  max_ueps = 0.3,
  chk_gamma = 0.9,
  n = 20000
)

Arguments

steps

number of steps in binary search for optimal epsilon value (default = 25)

tol

tolerance parameter to check for convergence of EM and REM algorithm (default = 1e-6)

maxiter

maximum number iterations of EM and REM algorithm (default = 1e3)

min_weights

lower bound for the individual weights estimated by REM (default = 1e-30)

max_ueps

percentile of the distribution of likelihood values to use as the maximum epsilon value to consider

chk_gamma

gamma value used when searching for epsilon

n

sample size of simulated data used when checking heuristic criterion in the epsilon search

Value

control parameters used in the REM package (steps, tol, maxiter, min_weights, ueps, n).
