Displays the value of the variational lower bound (ELBO) at the current iteration.

flash_verbose_elbo(curr, prev, k)

Arguments

curr

The flash_fit object from the current iteration.

prev

The flash_fit object from the previous iteration.

k

Only used during sequential backfits (that is, calls to flash_backfit where extrapolate = FALSE). It then takes the index of the factor/loadings pair currently being optimized.

Value

A character string, suitable for printing progress updates.

Details

This function is an example of a function that may be passed to parameter fns in function flash_set_verbose to customize the output that is printed after each greedy or backfitting iteration. See flash_set_verbose for details and examples.
