_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Evaluates GCV/UBRE score for a GAM, given smoothing parameters.
     The routine calls 'gam.fit' to fit the model, and is usually
     called by 'nlm' to optimize the smoothing parameters. 

     This is basically a service routine for 'gam', and is not usually 
     called directly by users. It is only used in this context for GAMs
     fitted by outer iteration (see 'gam.outer') when the the outer
     method is  '"nlm.fd"' (see 'gam.method').

_U_s_a_g_e:

     full.score(sp,G,family,control,gamma,...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

      sp: The logs of the smoothing parameters

       G: a list returned by 'gam.setup'

  family: The family object for the GAM.

 control: a list returned be 'gam.control'

   gamma: the degrees of freedom inflation factor (usually 1).

     ...: other arguments, typically for passing on to 'gam.fit'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The value of the GCV/UBRE score, with attribute
     '"full.gam.object"' which is the full object returned by
     'gam.fit'.
