\title{Control of the Generalized Symmetry point computing process}

\description{control.gsym.point is used to set various parameters that control the Generalized Symmetry point computing process.
}

\usage{control.gsym.point(B = 499, c_sampling = 0.25, c_F = 0.25, c_ELq = 0.25, 
c_R = 0.25, I = 2500)}

\arguments{
  \item{B}{
a numerical value meaningful only in the "EL" method. It specifies the number of simulations in the Empirical Likelihood method. The default value is 499.
}
  \item{c_sampling}{
 a numerical value meaningful only in the "EL" method. It specifies the constant needed for resampling in the Empirical Likelihood method. The default value is 0.25.
}
  \item{c_F}{
a numerical value meaningful only in the "EL" method. It specifies the constant needed for estimating the distribution in the Empirical Likelihood method. The default value is 0.25.
}
  \item{c_ELq}{
a numerical value meaningful only in the "EL" method. It specifies the constant needed for estimating the empirical likelihood function in the Empirical Likelihood method. The default value is 0.25.
}
  \item{c_R}{
  a numerical value meaningful only in the "EL" method. It specifies the constant needed for estimating the ROC Curve in the Empirical Likelihood method. The default value is 0.25.
}
  \item{I}{
a numerical value meaningful only in the "GPQ" method. It specifies the number of replicates in the Generalized Pivotal Quantity method. The default value is 2500.
}
}

\details{
The value yielded by this function is used as the control argument of the \code{gsym.point()}function.
