\title{
Control Parameters for Robust Covariance Estimation
}
\description{
This function is used to create a list of control parameters for the underlying robust estimator used in the \code{covRob} function.
}
\usage{
covRob.control(estim, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{estim}{a character vector of length one giving the name of the estimator to generate the control parameters for.}
\item{\dots}{control parameters appropriate for the robust estimator specified in \code{estim} in the form \code{name = value} and separated by commas. Omitted parameters receive their default values.}
}
\value{
a list of control parameters appropriate for the robust estimator given in \code{estim}. The value of \code{estim} occupies the first element of the list.}
\details{
The control parameters are estimator specific. Information on the control parameters (and their default values) can be found in the help files of each of the robust covariance estimators.
}
\seealso{
This function is a utility function for \code{\link{covRob}}.<br>
The underlying robust estimators are: \code{\link[rrcov]{CovSde}}, \code{\link[robustbase]{covMcd}} and \code{\link[rrcov]{CovOgk}}. Power-users should consider calling these functions directly.
