control.link {INLA} | R Documentation

## control.link

### Description

Control variables in `⁠control.*⁠` for use with `inla()`. The functions can be used to TAB-complete arguments, and returns a list of the default control arguments, unless overridden by specific input arguments.

### Usage

    control.link(
      model = "default",
      order = NULL,
      variant = NULL,
      hyper = NULL,
      quantile = NULL,
      a = 1,
      initial = NULL,
      fixed = NULL,
      prior = NULL,
      param = NULL
    )

    inla.set.control.link.default(...)

### Arguments

`model` | The name of the link function/model
`order` | The `order` of the link function, where the interpretation of `order` is model-dependent.
`variant` | The `variant` of the link function, where the interpretation of `variant` is model-dependent.
`hyper` | Definition of the hyperparameter(s) for the link model chosen
`quantile` | The quantile for quantile link function
`a` | The parameter `a` in the LOGa link
`initial` | (OBSOLETE!) The initial value(s) for the hyperparameter(s)
`fixed` | (OBSOLETE!) A boolean variable if hyperparmater(s) is/are fixed or random
`prior` | (OBSOLETE!) The name of the prior distribution(s) for the hyperparmater(s)
`param` | (OBSOLETE!) The parameters for the prior distribution(s) for the hyperparmater(s)
`...` | Named arguments passed on to the main function

### Details

The `control.link`-list is set within the corresponding `control.family`-list as the link is likelihood-family specific.
