Arguments

clv.data	The data object on which the model is fitted.
start.params.model	Named start parameters containing the optimization start parameters for the model without covariates.
optimx.args	Additional arguments to control the optimization which are forwarded to optimx::optimx. If multiple optimization methods are specified, only the result of the last method is further processed.
verbose	Show details about the running of the function.
...	Ignored
names.cov.life	Which of the set Lifetime covariates should be used. Missing parameter indicates all covariates shall be used.
names.cov.trans	Which of the set Transaction covariates should be used. Missing parameter indicates all covariates shall be used.
start.params.life	Named start parameters containing the optimization start parameters for all lifetime covariates.
start.params.trans	Named start parameters containing the optimization start parameters for all transaction covariates.
names.cov.constr	Which covariates should be forced to use the same parameters for the lifetime and transaction process. The covariates need to be present as both, lifetime and transaction covariates.
start.params.constr	Named start parameters containing the optimization start parameters for the constraint covariates.
reg.lambdas	Named lambda parameters used for the L2 regularization of the lifetime and the transaction covariate parameters. Lambdas have to be >= 0.
