Details

This function is intended to be a helper function for the `show()` method of `Recur` objects. To be precise, the function set the maximum number of recurrent episodes for each subject to be `max(2L, as.integer(getOption("reda.Recur.maxPrint")))`. By default, at most three recurrent episodes will be summarized for printing. When subjects having more than three recurrent episodes, the first `getOption("reda.Recur.maxPrint") - 1` number of recurrent episodes and the last one will be summarized. One may use `options()` to adjust the setting. For example, the default value is equivalent to `options(reda.Recur.maxPrint = 3)`.
