R: Refit a GAMLSS model

refit {gamlss} | R Documentation

## Refit a GAMLSS model

### Description

This function refits a GAMLSS model. It is useful when the algorithm has not converged after 20 outer iteration (the default value)

### Usage

    refit(object, ...)

### Arguments

`object` | a GAMLSS fitted model which has not converged
`...` | for extra arguments

### Details

This function is useful when the iterations have reach the maximum value set by the code(n.cyc) of the `gamlss.control` function and the model has not converged yet

### Value

Returns a GAMLSS fitted model

### Note

The function `update` does a very similar job
