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).
