Regression Model Estimation - Estimation Tab

Select the Estimation tab of the Regression Model Estimation dialog box to access options to set the parameters for the regression model estimation.
Options Description
Maximum number of iterations Specify the estimation of the maximum likelihood parameters.

The default value is 50.

Convergence criterion Specifies the convergence criterion.

The iterative estimation procedure terminates when either the maximum number of iterations has been exceeded, or when the change in the parameter estimates from iteration to iteration does not exceed the convergence criterion. The smaller the value of the convergence criterion, the more iterations will be performed by Statistica (within the limits of the maximum number of iterations).

Start values Displays the Specify Start Values dialog box, where you can specify parameter values to be used in the first iteration of the parameter estimation procedure.
Note: This button is only available if the Proportional hazard (Cox) regression Model was requested on the Regression Models for Censored Data dialog box - Quick tab or if you have clicked OK in the Proportional Hazard Model with Time-Dependent Covariates dialog box.
