R: Auxiliary for Controlling GEE Fitting

## Auxiliary for Controlling GEE Fitting

### Description

Auxiliary function as user interface for ‘gee’ fitting. Only used when calling ‘geese’ or ‘geese.fit’.

### Usage

    geese.control(epsilon = 1e-04, maxit = 25, trace = FALSE,
                  scale.fix = FALSE, jack = FALSE, j1s = FALSE, fij = FALSE)

### Arguments

`epsilon` | positive convergence tolerance epsilon; the iterations converge when the absolute value of the difference in parameter estimate is below `epsilon`.
`maxit` | integer giving the maximal number of Fisher Scoring iteration.
`trace` | logical indicating if output should be produced for each iteration.
`scale.fix` | logical indicating if the scale should be fixed.
`jack` | logical indicating if approximate jackknife variance estimate should be computed.
`j1s` | logical indicating if 1-step jackknife variance estimate should be computed.
`fij` | logical indicating if fully iterated jackknife variance estimate should be computed.

### Details

When ‘trace’ is true, output for each iteration is printed to the screen by the c++ code. Hence, ‘options(digits = *)’ does not control the precision.

### Value

A list with the arguments as components.
