I'm using the function gee from the library(gee)

Every time it runs, it dutifully prints out

user's initial regression estimate

Unfortunately, i run thousands of these and the output gets
extremely lengthy. Is there any way to suppress this printout in R?
I *was* going to suggest wrapping your call to gee() in
suppressMessages() ---
but that doesn't quite work. There are ***print()*** statements
following the
message statements, and there's no way to shut these up, as far as I
know.
So all you can do, I'm afraid, is edit the code for gee() and delete or
comment out the offending message() and print() statements. Or prepend
them by ``if(!silent)'' which would cause silent=TRUE to shut them up.
Fortunately, since this is R, it's easy enuff to do.
HTH.

P. S. I guess you could do some'at like
sink("/dev/null")
before the start of the sequence of calls to gee() and then sink()
after they end,
which would suppress all the unwanted bumff. But I would personally
prefer the
edit-the-code route.
