flash_greedy_init_softImpute: Initialize a flash factor using softImpute

Description

Initializes a new ("greedy") flash factor using softImpute. When there is missing data, this can yield better results than flash_greedy_init_default without sacrificing much (if any) speed.

Usage

flash_greedy_init_softImpute(flash, seed = 666, ...)

Value

A list of length two consisting of, respectively, the vector of initial values for loadings \(\ell_{\cdot k}\) and the vector of initial factor values \(f_{\cdot k}\).

Arguments

flash

A flash_fit object.

seed

Since initialization is random, a default seed is set for reproducibility.

...

Additional parameters to be passed to softImpute.
