R: Control Parameters for Baum Welch Algorithm

bwcontrol {HiddenMarkov} | R Documentation

## Control Parameters for Baum Welch Algorithm

### Description

Creates a list of parameters that control the operation of `BaumWelch`.

### Usage

    bwcontrol(maxiter = 500, tol = 1e-05, prt = TRUE, posdiff = TRUE,
              converge = expression(diff < tol))

### Arguments

`maxiter` | is the maximum number of iterations, default is 500.
`tol` | is the convergence criterion, default is 0.00001.
`prt` | is logical, and determines whether information is printed at each iteration; default is `TRUE`.
`posdiff` | is logical, and determines whether the iterative process stops if a negative log-likelihood difference occurs, default is `TRUE`.
`converge` | is an expression giving the convergence criterion. The default is the difference between successive values of the log-likelihood.

### Examples

    #    Increase the maximum number of iterations to 1000.
    #    All other components will retain their default values.
    a <- bwcontrol(maxiter=1000)
    print(a)
