Methods
 NameDescription
Public methodClone Creates a deep copy of this NMFAlsUpdate.
Public methodCost Returns the value of the cost function for the non-negative factorization of V = WH. The cost function is minimized by the factorization.
Public methodInitialFactors Provides the initial factors for the iteration process that computes W and H in the non-negative matrix factorization V = WH.
Public methodIterationStep Updates the factors W and H in the non-negative matrix factorization V = WH.

Remarks
The Alternating Least Squares (ALS) update algorithm takes advantage of the fact that while the optimization problem is not simultaneously convex in W and H, it is convex in either W or H. Thus, given one matrix, the other can be found with a simple least squares computation.
