TML1.noncensored.control {RobustAFT}

Control Parameters forTruncated Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Location and Scale

Description

Auxiliary function for TML1.noncensored. Typically only used internally by TML1.noncensored, but may be used to construct a control argument. This function provides default values.

Usage

TML1.noncensored.control(iv = 1, gam = 0.1, maxit = 200, tol = 1e-04)

Arguments

iv

• 0: use and do not change the initial estimate of scale.

• 1: compute a truncated maximum likelihood estimate of scale.

gam

Relaxation factor for the IRLS algorithm for the final estimate. Set 0 < gam <= 1.

maxit

Maximum number of iterations in the IRLS algorithm for the final estimate.

tol

Relative tolerance in the IRLS algorithm for the final estimate.

Value

A list with components named as the arguments.
