Usage: opt = gamopt(s0,s1{,s2,s3{,...}})
Input:
s0,s2,s4,... string, name of the component to add. Allowed are: "x" (the discrete predictor variables) "loc" (dummy for local const, linear or quadr. estim.) "tg" (grid) "h" (bandwidth for the directions of interest) "g" (bandwidth for the directions of no interest) "code" (model code), "kern" (kernel function), "wx" (weights), "off" (offset), "shf" (show iteration), "miter" (maximal number of iterations), "cnv" (convergence criterion), "fscor" (Fisher scoring), "pow" (power), "nopic" (no picture), "descript" (add descriptive statistics), "pl" (partially linear model), "name" (output name), "xvars" (discrete variable names), "tvars" (variable names), "yvars" (name of y-variable), "title" (output title), "bv" (covariance matrix for b).
s1,s3,s5,... scalar, value of the corresponding component to add. or string, name of the list where the components should be added, just allowed when this parameter follows parameter "title" (see notes below).
Output:
opt list, resulting list of options.

Example:
library("gam")
opt=gamopt("cnv",0.001,"miter",20,"title","MyExample")
opt

Result:
Contents of opt.cnv
[1,]    0.001
Contents of opt.miter
[1,]       20
Contents of opt.title
[1,] "MyExample"
